Nice brake disks! What model are they? And size (original)?
Cheers,
Patric
Thanks!
They are DBA T3 ClubSpec 4000 Series Slotted Rotor and I got a good deal from Ken at KNS Brakes. They are OEM replacement, as far as what size they are. I really liked the slot pattern, the coated hub, and the cooling vein design. I went with Centric Premium High Carbon blanks for the rear.
Cleaned up the engine bay! Got the valve cover powder coated, installed some true burnt titanium bolts from Dress Up Bolts, fitted the Radium Engineering PCV catch can, installed some new IKH24s, and did the throttle cable relocation mod! Let me know what you think!
I have a question for anyone that can help , can I use a open dump with an internal wastegate or do I need to get the external? I plan on getting a external down the road but just wondering if I would need it to run the open dump . Thanks

You can run an O2 dump with an internally gated turbo. Just buy the part (connection between the turbo hotside and the DP which has two outlets, one for WG, one for exhaust)

How's the throttle cable relocation working? The write up from a couple years ago is missing pictures so it's not clear to me what's going on.
Yeah I didn’t have any pictures from that DIY for reference either :/ but I kinda just looked at some engine bays that had it done and figured it out. I used the bolt that holds some relays against the firewall and attached the mount that went on the front of the valve cover on there with the relays. Not sure if this was the “right” spot but I felt it did the best job of keeping the bends in the cable smooth and as wide as possible. I then ziptied the cable to an ac line to keep it in place because I didn’t like where it sat against my catch can/the bend seemed a little sharp. All in all it turned out pretty good and I’ve got no problems with throttle binding/weird feel.

What did you use to clean that, thats pretty good.
a little bit of everything haha jk. First I scrubbed it with degreaser and a scotch bright pad. Then i used a wire wheel that you can attach to a drill and just grinded the left over rust and paint off. Then go back to degreaser and scotch pads working your way from very course to fine. Then I used these metal Brillo type pads from 000 to 0000 gauge or size. After I was happy with the level of shine I wanted or could even get, I then used a combination of compounds,metal polish and last I used jet seal. I’m happy with it and I’m not repainting muffler after all that. If you want more details let me know.
Removed the front bumper and cussed at it for the massive pool of oil that it pissed out underneath it. From the looks of it I'll be pulling the trans and replacing the rear main seal this weekend... FML......
Dropped Evo off to CBRD for a stripped stud hole on cylinder head to exhaust manifold and might as well install turbosmart wastegate onto my bbk full and retune and add a flex section to my downpipe while I’m on vacation.
