Yes, we converted every vacuum line on the car. A few had to be drilled/tapped.

Thanks guys!

AEM coils getting wired up:





Here's how the lower IC pipe came out. Much shorter than your average FF LICP. It's also no longer crammed near downpipe, radiator, etc. This was fabbed by Cory @ Deadhooktuning. I'll post a picture of the upper tonight!

Car's coming together bro, looks great! Push locks ftw. I had every intention of replacing the rest of mine ( intake manifold ) when I had it off next. Completely changed my headgasket and forgot all about ordering the fittings

Upper pipe was finished last night. Only thing left to do is re-do the WG dump. I think we're going to do a tear drop. We are also going to make a dump that goes under the car to comply with the street eliminator rules at next years shootout.

The radiator isn't perfectly spaced from the radiator support but I am going to fix that with an adjustable black spacer.

One last thing, the turbo that is on the car was suppose to be a 6266. I bought it 2 years ago from MAP. This weekend I realized the sticker on the compressor cover inlet said 6262... Need to measure turbine wheel... I would find it funny if it was really a 6262 the whole time.

9 lbs of wiring, nice! $300 for 4 coils, pretty silly price! You don't see many people run that setup at all, so I am very interested in seeing your results! Nice updates sir!

I used that line a few years back, be careful when using close to something hot aka your wastegate by the mani. I had a few lines melt on me, as they hold air really well, but they're super thin and plastic so they tend to melt easily.

Car looks awesome man! Keep up the good work and not hitting any walls at the track!!! (saw that vid, crazy)

Yep as above.
I wouldn't use them on the wastegate side with possible heat sources close by.

Client had them on his car off the gate, they melted and he was boosting to the moon.

The line that I have does pretty well with heat, it takes some time under a direct flame to get it to shape. I will use a small DEI sleeve to protect it to be safe
