I have a 3 day weekend, so we'll see what kinda magic I can make happen.

Pulling the barb out of the valve cover for the drive/front vent last night, it broke. So, I pulled the valve cover back off and started the process of removing the baffels and drilling/tapping the rivets. That process pretty much sucks.

Oil pan on, valve cover fixed and back on, and ARP stainless EM hardware in (removed junky stock studs) and FP manifold on.
2 bolt holes stripped for the baffles in the valve cover. Those two holes the drill bit chattered a lot for some reason, so I have a feeling they were oversized and the threads just weren't strong enough. All the others torqued to 60in/lbs just fine which is perfect for an M5 bolt. With the lock washer and red loctite, I'm confident they're not going anywhere.

Almost there. Ordering a couple of misc parts today and then I'll be putting it in this weekend.

Glad I decided to clean my injectors since they'd been sitting for 7 months.

I also ordered the purple restrictor. Let us know what is the pressure between the restrictor and turbo.
I was told from Amber at FP that the BB turbos live well with 5PSI of oil pressure.

That's weird. Robert has told me they need 10psi under load.
