Well, I tried to go out and torque down my main studs to 120 ft-lbs, but one of the middle ones decided that it wasn't having that.
Mains should definitely not be torqued to 120 ft-lbs. The pic looks like a head stud, not main.
You are right; I mis-stated which studs I torqued. Thank you for pointing that out.
Well I'm gonna go silent for a for the work week because I have to save up for new engine hardware, but I do have a question before I order. Can you use the 1.6 main stud kit ARP 204-5402 on the AAZ without consequence? I'm going to completely replace all Raceware hardware in my motor with ARP after the head stud let go; I don't trust their stuff anymore.
Yes, the same headbolts are used so the same studs can be used. There is a TDI kit from ARP now, but I am still using the older ford cosworth kit that we have linked part #s to in the FAQ section.
Yup, forgot about that link. Includes that very part number for the main studs; served me right for not remembering to RTFFAQ.

Why so much boost tubing? A large reason for going air/water is to minimize boost tubing and lag.

I would think the most needed would be a 90° off the compressor outlet and then a 180° off the AWIC and a short run back into the intake. That looks like 4 feet of extra aluminum and a couple extra couplers.

yea libby.. problem is.. people like me take that tube, cut/weld.. if you have no "scraps/supply"... gotta start somewhere..
i myself.. id make mounts up off tranny for it so it can move with the engine.. mount it solid with no rubber couplers and a few v bands... this way no places to pop and make a boost leak..

That is true Chris, but those couplers should hold up fine if they are from them.. friggan like 7 ply silicone.

If the tube ends are beaded and the clamps are decent, they will hold to 30 psi.
