Easy enough.

If you don't want to cut the big ones btw, you can buy "drain plugs" at lowes/home depot for them. I think its 16x1.5 and 14x1.5, but I could be wrong about either. You can look it up on google and find the sizing (which is slightly different from NA to NB I think).

The smaller 4 lines are easy though:
2 you loop
2 you pinch and RTV

the 2 big ones you can:
pinch and RTV
or buy plugs at lowes which maybe of incorrect size (ie too big). You will need to either make a spacer using washers or the like, or cut the bolt to size. the big one fits, I think its the 14x1.5 thats tricky.

I am making it sound complicated, but its not bad at all.

Doesn't seem too bad, maybe I'll look in to it this weekend.

I still might be willing to swap out our steering racks if you wanna do all the work for me.

jtpaintballwdp 03-13-2012 12:19 PM

Haha, I forgot about this option... Might still take you up on that. I wont do anything to my rack until we figure that out.

I just looped the inlet and outlet to each other. It flows air from the left side to the right side and vice versa when you turn it.

Nothing terribly cool to report, got my intake done (for now, eventually going to run it to the mouth of the car

And also picked up my LS2 coils from Shuiend over the weekend. Next project is wiring them up and running sequential.

when you install turbo, cap the current AIT bung and weld a new one just past the IC, like within inches of it, outside the engine bay, in front of the rad.

jtpaintballwdp 04-23-2012 11:29 AM

Sounds good. I even have a spare bung in my tool box. intake temps are much cooler now that the filter is away from the header. I need to pick up a new under tray, need to see if anyone has one local, Rosenthal wants $63 for it +$32 for the mounting hardware. Screw that. Need some ducting for the rad too.
