Message	Just wanted to post some progress pics from today... Got the driver side turbo bolted up to the new MSP mani, coolant lines and oil lines run and did the exhaust valve cover gasket Only snag was the oil line wouldnt run behind the dipstick even with bending the tube and angling the fitting off the turbo, still too short to reach the block! So ran it in front of the dipstick and it reached. Got a little crazy with the heat tape! lol But maybe it will do something On to Pics! Ended up using 3 studs on bottom and 2 top bolts on the downpipes. Worked great! Thanks for checkin this out! , I will post more pics as progress moves on... (have been sick for a week and work is stressin me out lately) Still a TON of work left before the snow melts in Michigan
