Friday saw the next serious complications. Currently Sasha is using Treadstone to provide the intercooler and charge piping for the kit. My intercooler arrived with the brackets welded backwards. The greatest significance of this was that what should have been a 5 minute job - bolting on an intercooler - turned into a multi hour ordeal. I ended up having to take the intercooler brackets to a machine shop where my brother kindly made use of a bridgeport to machine down my brackets. Between that and some creative uses of washers, the intercooler was installed.

Madwi tackled wiring for the new AFR and boost gauges, as well as assembling the gauge pillar.

Coolant lines were installed in the car, turbo was roughly clocked.

Rusty arrived around 8, and after a brief dinner (thanks Megan!) we mated the turbo manifold to the OEM headers. This took a bit of work. The manifold was about 1/2 inch too narrow to fit the header hole pattern. The flex pipes on the manifold do allow for some maneuvering, and we were able to seat it with a bit of effort, mostly on Rusty's part. That wrapped up the evening.
