Saving a Porsche. Vr6 Turbo power

[bradp@adaptecspeedware]

Hit some snags today. Motor is in and bolted up which is the good news. The bolts they sent me for shift linkage isn't the right one. The turbo housing hits the wastegate so i need to order a couple flanges and some tubing and move that out some. Next the alternator hits the throttle body when turned the way i need it. Easiest solution is to move the tb to the center of the intake instead of trying to drop the alternator down a bit. Hopefully tomorrow goes better.

More snags today but at least after its all said and done the pan clearance is no issue at all

Just regular Krylon ultra flat camo. I may go ahead in the future and paint it gloss black like i originally intended but i doubt i'll own it long enough.

Also changing up the coolant system to AN fittings and steel hose instead of that aluminum tubing.
