They are a pain in the ass to get all the way on, but if they don't leak, I will love them! haha

Ya, the side that connects to the hose is ribbed for pleasure! haha Even pushing them only half way on, they wouldn't come off without cutting them off.

Oh wow... I assumed it was a return setup. Well, good luck with the tuning and stuff.

My guess is they save space and (being cast) are less prone to cracking from high EGT's.

Agreed. There is a reason factory cars don't come with tubular turbo manifolds.

Ya, I should have taken a picture of the ports. For a stock cast manifold, they are pretty healthy.

Well, I got a little more done last night. Sorry for the crappy cell pics, but I forgot my decent camera yesterday.

I finished wiring up the MDM. I originally thought that the MDM replaced the FPDM completely, but I guess it just manipulates the stock FPDM signals, and adds it's own power to the 3 pumps. I mounted it right behind my battery cut off switch. It was a really easy install, and overall I was really pleased with the quality of the Lethal performance fuel systm. Everything had great directions, and they were all quality pieces.



We had been waiting for the clutch that has been back ordered for months, but got tired of waiting and decided to just throw the motor in the car without the tranny.



I was so stoked to see a motor back in my car that I had to run to the bathroom and rub one out real quick after we dropped it in!



On a side note, my M+H DR's came in a couple weeks ago, and I was pretty surprised to see them arrive like this. I've never seen tires shipped like this.



They were folded in on themselves and then taped together for shipment. Very weird looking!



Hopefully I can make some more progress tomorrow.
