FB: progressing slowly
I got a couple more hours in today...
The power steering hoses are in place... only one is torqued down I think I need a crow's foot to do the other... man those lines suck. If it wasn't for down-tempo electro I'd have been throwing things around in frustration. I opted to leave the rack in place and finagle the lines into place... Glad I don't have to do that ever again.
I got some time spent on my accessory drive, I think I need a 5PK1200 belt as the stock 5pk1300 was too long and the 5pk885 and 1000, 1100 etc were all too short.
I worked on my spreadsheet of parts purchased through work..... yikes! thats a lot of money in original equipment parts... I think I have ordered over 150 different items... and used about 130ish of them. I'm not sure how many seals or other odds/ends I've just taken out of the drawer at work... dozens I'd guess.
The fuel feed hardline has been flared to accept a standard rubber hose...
New pics... I know they suck but the lights at work are not good for photography and I only spend a moment to shoot them when I'm leaving.

do the coolant feed and return lines matter on the turbo?
It is something that confused me when installing my turbo. My guess is that they don't matter but it seems like the few people that have posted pictures have them set up opposite the way you do. Just something to check.

Both oil and coolant feeds on my turbocharger are top to bottom flow...
Maybe Joe can offer some perspective on the configuration... I'm not sure if there is an ideal config or of the exact pro/con set for my setup.
