Its finally running

[Sy370]

After being down for about 6 months, I finally got it running. I broke the ring lands on number 4 cylinder and rebuilt the motor. I put forged pistons, the machine shop went through the block and crank. I didn't get anything special done, just your basic rebuild. I am pretty excited about finally getting to hear it run and went for a ride. Here are some pics of the rebuild. Thanks for looking.

Where did you get the red couplers and the chrome tube between the turbo and the IC. Nice build by the way. Did you clean up the engine bay before putting the motor back in?

Thanks, if I remember correctly I got them off of ebay. I will have to check and see for sure. I cleaned it up a little, but I could have done a ton more.
