Well, it's runs. Kind of. I can get it to start and idle but it won't stay idling for more than a minute. But it won't restart afterward because the starter is junk. I've been playing with it but got frustrated and moved on to other things.
I pulled the crossover off to start fabbing the waste gate plumbing but couldn't get the material and the welder to cooperate, so I decided it was time for a beer. I'll try again tomorrow

It's gonna need some rearrangin, that's for sure. No way the bumper cover is going on
Some really cool fab work there mister. Good job

Eh, spend enough time under the hood and you do something stupid

Hahahahaha I'm gonna take that as a joke. It ships in a box from 'de faah eese' and you stick it together like an erector set.Some really cool fab work there mister. Good job
Oh. That. Lol don't look closely, it actually embarrassingly sloppy, even for me
What can you say about Dave? What a guy. Always a friendly pat on the back, willing to go the extra mile to help a buddy out, willing to ship his personal tools to anybody that asks for it......truly a one in a million kinda guy.........
Then there's me.
I really don't have a problem with the bumper/ a2a IC support,....What else are you gonna do when you don't have a tubing bender, and who cares if the thing is cut and spliced? You should see the behind the scenes on my dash/door bars/console.

Drilled and tapped the elbow for the ACT sensor tonight. Sucks having to buy multiple tools for a single use.
This is true.
It's also been a slow week for customer service. I've emailed LMR twice with an easy question and have gotten no response, which is odd. Normally they're on top of it. @Dustin@LMR can you help? Need to know what size the threaded nut is on the 351w swap pan where the dipstick goes in. OR, if possible, can I buy the dipstick by itself since I already have the pan?
Also, I ordered the wrong set of plug wires from summit. The coil wire is too short. I decided instead of returning them since they've already been run, I'd contact Taylor and see if I could buy the correct coil wire. While a response was prompt, they refuse to sell me a wire and instead have been forcing me to deal with Summit to return everything and exchange for the correct wire set. I get it, but is it that difficult to just sell me a replacement wire?!? Sheesh.

Also, here's a video from the first startup. If you have the volume up enough, you hear the turbo unspool at the end. Makes my insides tingle, haha

We are substantially complete. Just a few more details to finish and we will be there! Notice I replumbed the charge piping. I love the way this fits now.
