Jelly. Got my downpipe in tho, some popping has been occurring on throttle lift tup

However... Tried to install a Perrin turbo inlet hose (as the stock one was ripped and causing unmetered air in) and what a bitch that was. According to Perrin it's a 40min install (Read as: 8 hours) I'm still trying to chase a coolant leak from that. Madder

Q300 arrived, but the wrong downpipe was shipped so I had to reorder it. Hopefully I'm stage 2 next weekend.
new Michelin Pilot Super Sports (stock 245s) ordered. the stock SP600s sucked, and are toast. hoping the PSS live up to the hype.
previous owner curbed 3 of the stock BBS wheels (2 fairly badly), so Andre from AWR is going to do his magic on them. I've all but decided to have him refinish the silver BBS wheels in gloss black.....

AEM intake, PTP turbo blanket, Grimmspeed heat shield, and a few Whiteline bushing kits ordered, hopefully here before next weekend so that I can install everything while the exhaust is dropped.

waiting to hear back from Tunerworks for price/install for a Killer B oil pickup. need an oil change soon, so no better time to do it.

more things are on the radar, but I might let my wallet cool down a bit first hahaha....

They tend to crack at the top of the pickup, starve the motor of oil, and well.. You know where it goes from there. Let me find a pic of mine.

So that flange is right where it bolts to the block.

I for no apparent reason decided to one night tackle putting in the Killer B pickup (after having it for a few weeks) I dropped the oil pan and saw the stock one cracked.. And one of our technicians said it best: "Dude, you shit yourself when you saw that, and I'm pretty sure the horseshoe that was up your ass came out with it"

Go to Killer B Motorport's website, they have the whole story and tons of pics.
