completely swapped over to the new turbo setup...blew the second turbo. Found the oil feed line was clogged and not feeding the bearings....sweeeet

On a side not, my Dana 60 front axle and NV271 transfer case showed up along with new front drive shaft/front coils/rear leaves/Rancho shocks

I have this annoying rattle/vibration @ 2000-2500 RPMs. I figured it was cat. heatshield, but apparently the JDM version is of better construction and feels/looks rather solid. The resonator to the Mugen Twin-Loop is HUGE so it could be the floor pan shield, however, inspection found clearance was good (parked, can't check under motor flex). Hmmmm.

well I got the intake off. the gasket where I suspected the leak was brittle(shock). I want to drown GM executives and engineers in dexcool.

So swapped out the coil pack and all 6 plugs and the the valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals while I was at it.

I'll probably pull the car into the garage tomorrow to start changing the following:
- Both Front Lower Control Arm Bushings
- Steering linkage coupler
- Oil filter housing gasket
- CCV (oil separator) and 3 vent hoses
- Serpentine drive and AC accessory belt
- Thermostat and housing
- Waterpump
- Driver side window regulator

Should be it for now. LOL fucking bimmer.
I just did all of that on mine, minus the lower control arms (help me!), steering linkage, and the window regulator. Also did the vanos seals
