Yea, I aim on getting the fittings for the oil pressure sensor that I have to fit into the 3/8npt bolt holes. Just gotta find out what the male side of my oil pressure sensor fittings are.

It's been like Christmas all week. Lots of goodies arriving in the mail!
 HKS bov...pretty sure it's a fake. Probably going to go with a Synapse instead.  Walbro pump...have the install kit...not pictured.  Smaller intercooler. The Hugh Jass one that I had isn't going to fit with the fogs.  Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator.  Vibrant 6" Turbo Flex Section.  HKS mount pipe.  Big Box-O-Pipes. Came with couplers and T-bolt clamps too.  Box of 3" scrap stainless that I've been collecting. Think I need a few more pieces.  Last but not least...a magnetic oil plug. -------------------- |

The diaphram isnt soft, the nuts are the wrong shape, the inlet port is too short, and hks valves dont come with adapters.

Synapse FTW!!! im not boosted yet, but i will be using Synapse waist gate and BOV/BPV when the time comes.. 100+PSI and the ability to have perfect tuned curves, holds. very well engineered products.

I'm starting to get nervous. My install starts next week. I've allotted 5 days to get the thing up and running w/o exhaust completed. Anybody who's in my area HIT ME UP! Your help would be much appreciated!

Thanks Ted. The list of Gremlins is already starting to grow. Had my car up on the lift today only to realize that my brand new rear engine mount from when I replaced my clutch has already bit the freaking dust, and the front one is far behind. Not to mention the has a few oil leaks (thinking valve cover gasket), and I need a new passenger side axle....FAIL.
