Message: [QUOTE="average, post: 91696, member: 559"] Well I fiddled with the uppipes for about a half hour and didn't feel like snapping a bolt so I'm just gonna order some new ones, bellowed or DI's not sure which - but I'm sure they must flex a little better than the stock POS pipes man I hate those things. Got everything else done and buttoned up, once again the V-Band to the rear of the turbo was probably the most PITA of everything. I took er for a drive and the 38r sounds AMAZING, I'm thinking hairdryer from hell describes it pretty good. I'll need to video it sometime. Total today was about 2 hours 45 minutes, it's easier puttin everything back on since I know where everything goes and what not. 38r, HPX oil crossover, CCV installed and EBPV fully deleted now. Is it normal to see a little haze from the CCV line, I have it ran the whole way back to beside the gas tank and can see some haziness rising from below the bed? By best tip for anyone that hasn't done anything like this yet - grab a big ol fluffy sleepin bag or a bunch of blankets because you are gonna be layin on your engine like a sofa for a while! I now have a ford coolant cap indentation on my side permanently I think. A couple more tips: Don't try to tighten one thing at a time, I found myself going back and loosening all kinds of stuff to get one thing on. Also get some wobble extensions/joint extensions for your ratchet, I had some so I was good to go. PB Blaster is your friend and he likes to play with every nut and bolt you will touch. If you are by yourself like me, grab a jack for the downpipe - it helps getting it just right since you only have 2 hands and will still be wishing for another 2.

Time to go camping then report back on my towing EGT's. :fordoval: [/QUOTE]
