Make some egr block off plates. Went slightly different than what my template was because i discovered they can both be the exact same shape and size.

Yeah they are 800 cc injectors.

Today im focusing on the interior of the car like installing the boost gauge and routing the boost line. Also had to pull my driver side fender off because i wanted to route my widebands wires from the bay into the same loom for the wiring harness so it doesn't look to far from factory and happy with it so far. But im going to source my widebands power from the under hood fuse panel and currently looking for a switched power source. Thinking about taping the pos wire to the Main fuse but not sure if thats a switched or constant source. Ill sort that out eventually.

Yeah the wideband has two grounds.. One for the ems and one for the power source. Sort of makes it a solid setup.

But yeah frustrating day yesterday. But today worked out slightly better. Got the FMIC fitted and made the brackets to mount the intercooler.

After finishing the intercooler and piping a started mounting my oil cooler. I used factory screws and managed to bend an old power steering bracket to pinched the rad up against the frame and now its solid.



Then hooked up the lines and it fits great and out of the way. I would sort of like it closer to the bumper vent so its more visible. But with the IC pipe there, there isn't to many options.




And after the frustration with tons of clips and plastic body pins for the mouth, the top of the bumper and tightening everything onand trying to adjust i got the front end back together.

The headlights in the photo aren't bolted down so they're not perfectly level or anything.



Cant even tell there is an oil cooler. ohh well. I was hoping it would be more obvious since i just like the look of oil coolers through bumpers. But over all the intercooler in there looks soo much better to me.

Now i need to order the new power steering cooler.
