Going Single after 10 years / SP F1 Manifold, PTE6265 by Josh S

Question for everyone: As you can see from this picture my oil drain line is very close to touching the header. There is probably only 1/8" gap right where the hose connects to the nipple that goes to the turbo. Should I use a 45 degree hose end here to bring it out away from the header and maybe run it in front of my IC piping? I plan on trying the feed line to keep it away from the manifold so that should be ok, but I'm a little worried about that one spot on the return line being so close.

I've had this clutch in the car for a while now. Not crazy about the LW FW, but the clutch itself isn't bad. It is grabby and chatters sometimes but it has taken some abuse with my old setup without a hitch. The pedal pressure isn't bad either, I had a ACT PP with an OEM disk at one point and while it was very easy engagement the pedal pressure was a bit much and the disk didn't stand up to being drag raced very well.

Finely drove it today What a long process. Everything whet smoothly other than spraying some coolant everywhere when I was trying to bleed the air out of the radiator.  
Actually drives really well for just a base map. Boosted it a little bit, sounds wicked when it spools up, spools up nice a quick, a little too quick as I hit almost 20psi before I knew it, oops.  

Now I just need to get it tuned so I can get on it a bit

So here are some pics of what I finished up today before my drive.  

First I installed the ProEFI CAN Gauge and put all of the interior back together:

Next up I installed my IAT sensor on the pipe exiting the IC. This is a nice thick cast pipe from my Greddy 3-row so I got plenty of threads:



Sensor installed and pipe back on. You can also see the new 250psi meth pump I installed to replace my old 150psi pump that I fond to have a leak:

Quick shot of the engine bay all finished up:




I have an appointment to get this thing tuned this Monday I'll let everyone know how it goes and try to get some video and pictures.
