Everything is pretty much ready to go back on, if I can ever get a chance to get down there and work on it I'll have everything bolted back up and ready for a new fuel pump and the wideband that I still haven't installed a month after I got it , then a tune.

Got the turbo together and plugged up all the holes for now, it will go back on soon.

 

Got the car put back together and back on the street since my last post. Degreased the engine bay like 4 times and got it looking halfway decent.


I've replaced the shifter panel, shift boot, shifter garnish ring, ash tray, floor mats, cup holder without the IC sprayer switch, put a cover on the steering wheel, wired a 4 channel amp for the door speakers and tweeters, and wired an alpine with the flip up screen. Still looking for a stock a-pillar since I relocated gauges to the stock radio position. Need a 3rd gauge to fill the last hole. My driver seat has also seen better days. ECU Panel needs to go back on to cover up those exposed wires, and the arm rest is pretty beat up and could probably use a cover of some sort. Other than those small details I'm pretty happy with the interior for now and I'm going to try and move on to something else.


Took the valve cover off the car for stripping and painting, end result is in the first picture of my post. Turned out alright, I'm no painter but I got the job done anyway.


I also changed the oil today. Mobil 1 10w30 and a K&N Gold Filter. The Mtn Dew is obviously for extra oil lubricity.


Here's a walk around video of the car idling, I listed as many mods as I could think of in the description. Car is still untuned, I did scale the injectors a bit and got the car running well enough to daily drive 4 miles to work and back. Boost is currently set very low to avoid any damage until I can get the car to a dyno.
