I have a stock 1.8th intercooler I'll be using. It cost me $10. I'm not going to run an IC, until I have the car up and running, and have some cash for piping.

Parts come tuesday. I put a new motor mount in the pass side today, I need to pick up a can of paint and paint the bracket. Nothing's getting done this weekend; I've got an autocross school all weekend. Hoping to get the engine and everything in next weekend.

engine is in the car. I need to order some exhaust studs and nuts and gaskets so I can put the VNT on. I also need to buy an intake mani for it. I'm really excited to drive the car with the vnt.

Quick question-
One can add an LDA to an NA pump, correct?

I did fairly easily,but it hasnt been tested due to not having a body for the engine.I dont want to start it without load ,as it was a complete rebuild.I used a peugeot pump for the donor LDA.One thing is you have to knock back the internal stop(for the collar plate) pressed into the pump.Which was easy with some heat and a drift.

Everything was easy though i have faith.

Hmmm.... Will try to put one in, after the turbo-ness.

It's so damn close to running! Just need to time the engine, put some pullies on, paint some little parts, slap the turbo on, find a intake mani, and start it up!
