Well, got some progress on the shop done. Trusses arrived. Totally used the lift and ran a couple of heavy ratchet straps around the scissor lift rail and the top cord of the truss and lifted it into place. Shit worked amazing. Ran out of time and didn't get to finish all my perlins before the lift had to be back. I will rent it again and do all my overhangs and outlooks/facia. So far I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Everything pretty damn straight/plumb/square. Yes I could have paid someone to build it....... but I would have been pissed the whole time because they would do a half ass job and charge me a fuck ton to do it.

Looks good, that turbo filter in last picture looks skinny, is that restrictive?
 

Manifold has been welded up, built a turbo support bracket from a $20 amazon alternator tensioner. no leaks yet, let's see how long it lasts. The engine looks so naked without the exhaust wrap.

Like Chris stated on his website, that PHPATM software has plenty of exploits and is easily hacked (xenocron.com got hacked a couple of times because of it), to the point that the software was abandoned by the author.

Just saw that link on FB not 10min before this post, small world 

as goes the old saying:

You ain't breaking parts, if you ain't making power!!   

Built the jig last night. Waiting to hear back from the guy that says he can do it to see cost and time frame.

fucking wild how much shit goes wrong so fast! #ifitcanitwill

My less than 2 months old alternator decided start charging at 19 volts, warrantied it out, replacement stopped charging within 2 miles. While waiting for the warranty of the warranty alternator to show up I rebuilt my alternator mount to be 2" lower in case the heat from the turbo was killing the regulators. Still having more time to kill I went looking for my clunk noise when taking off from a stop. The RevShift poly mounts that I installed mid-March have already torn in half. Good thing I strapped them with a seatbelt otherwise the turbo would have been slapping the hood. After replacing the alternator and mounts I started looking for my exhaust leaks and found a bunch of cracks in my manifold. I'm gonna make a jig before welding it up again so I can start on version 2.

oil line was leaking some around the fitting when taking it off it broke lol i didn't realize how bad it was like a fondu fountain of oil all over the turbo

new line and some burning off and everything is ok again

Yikes! at least it didn't break while driving around or on track
