Guess it's been a while. I forgot this little bit.
Figured I'd clean up the crusty old thermostat housing I had before I bolted it on the nice clean engine.
Little bit of wire wheel action
Going to relocate some of the sensors for a cleaner look and eliminate unneeded holes. I had Camden (Spoolin_Turbo aka Hughes Jr) weld all this stuff up for me. Thanks again Cam!
Also had Camden mod the water pipe some since I won't be running coolant to my throttle body, I also decided to keep my heater core in the system because it's honestly simpler/easier just to keep it.
I had these powder coated, but I must have forgot to take any pictures of the end result. They are semi gloss black just like the old water pipe:
I never did post an pics since I got the wastegate either, so here that is. Carey got me a killer deal on it, fit great on their o2 housing.
One last piece of the engine portion of the build, sweet replacement baffles I got from a guy on t00ners. Have yet to figure out which valve cover I am going to run yet, but when I do these will be going in it along with 2 5/8" barb fittings for my catch car setup. Camden will be welding all this up for me as well. Not using AN fittings, just keepin it simple and easy to work on! I'll get pictures of all that when the time comes.
Progress is at a snails pace now with a 6 month old, my oldest starting preschool and the sports he's in along with all of the extra stuff I've been doing at work lately.
