Got my wastegate bracket in! Custom made by a member of TB for clocked TD04 turbos!

Just figuring out the last bit of wiring for the e fan and than installing the wastegate and bracket and she will be ready to be fired up!

Thanks! And there's more to come!

Stuff I have in my garage that I'm working on installing soon

- holset he351cw

- 4.01 LSD rear

- full LH 2.4 swap

- aftermarket front mount

- complete black interior swap (keeping the original seats though)

Got a lot planned!

Got my E code low/high beams in! So that means 4 bulbs for my high beams now

Took her for a drive last week before I got sick. Still having some idle issues, as well as I have an oil leak that is dripping on my wideband O2 sensor causing it to smoke. Ordered an idle air motor and tps microswitch so we will see how the idle is than!

My crankcase vent is from the factory trap box, to 2 aftermarket catch cans in line, than to the intake elbow right before the turbo inlet. No vent to atmosphere. All these idle issues makes me want to swap to 2.4 sooner rather than later...

Found some 242 black door cards from an 82 with power windows like mine. Seller told me they were in pretty good condition for being 32 years old. I never saw pictures but he assured me I wouldn't be disappointed. I got a great deal on them so I figured worse comes to worst I'll just eat the cost or run decent door cards. 

Got them in the mail Friday and these are in MINT condition! I got extremely lucky!

Will post better pictures during install once I'm not bed ridden anymore!
