I'd go to the wreckers and pull a PS cooling line of a newer car. They bend easily. Nothing worse than trying to change and fit that line once you get it all back together.

you should buy a few cans of black paint, and get rid of the bling in the intake tubo :(
It makes the engine bay look too busy.
Trust me, it will look sharp all in the same tone of black

Man, your turbo has chucked you a bunch of curve balls... kudos for keeping at it. You should go get some numbers, maybe in the spring :)

I'd love to know what power you're making, too.
I recommend taking off your tail light covers, and painting them, but suggest doing it like I did; I put a piece of plastic over the ghey "louvered" part, so It's all smooth, and flush. They sort of look like ferrari tails. There's a pic in my worklog.
