More gauge bezel work:




Im not certain how much I like this either. The gauges "lean back" and its not a big deal, but im afraid they might reflect light or something oddly.. I might go back to the ac bezel if this doesnt work.

Turbo and Downpipe are On, Getting all those bolts on was quite the trick




I drained the oil and put the new pan on as well.. I sure hope this was in the tray and not in my engine:

^Yeah, im doing everything I can to bring temps down.. I just realized that my turbo has water-cooling ports on it, so I'm debating going that route as well.

I'm going to run everything unwrapped and unpainted at first, i want to take temps before and after because i'm a nerd like that.

Where are you going to mount the catch can?

I think right next to the battery box, somewhere easy to reach. I may do that batterybox catch-can combo later on down the line.
