Got a couple of more deliveries today, steering rack was done and dropped off for coating, should be good to get the front subframe in the car in the next couple of weeks. Be good to actually start putting it back together.

Must be nice to have forward progression 

Just getting stuff done/ ready, forward progression will be when the front end is back in. Active we’re really good, got the rack turned over in 24 hours, wish all the shops were that efficient

That’s a lot quicker then mine but mine needed the shaft to be rechromed which added a week to it and then waiting on other parts people said they had in stock but didn’t

Absolute bastard 😤

If that was under 2k I'm impressed. The old man is bugging me to change our white 32 back to stock but everyone wants a pound of flesh for them 😡

I paid $2700 for it, I remember when bonnets were under 1k, some are asking 4K+ for them. All you can do is put the feelers out and see what pops up, I did a WTB add on the FB GTR groups, got about 4-5 responses, so they are out there, but like you said, pound of flesh, some want 2 pound! Lol

Only reason is because a lot of turbos aren’t available with twin scroll housings any more 

Blame Murica, they're too busy doing twin turbos on everything they can find.

And from an educated guess, they're the world's greatest consumers of turbos and soon RBs lol.

Twin scroll manifold, with pulses split to the gate, looks the business!

Silly to go single scroll these days, not sure why go many big setups still do this when you have beautiful manifolds like that!

Well with a 7675 strapped to it, I’ll need all the help I can get to get it on boost.

That is all suitable, They can even do plastic parts, he showed me a fuse box cover from a VL he did, looked brand new. I’ve given him a few plastic parts, I’ll post them when I get them back. 

Thanks for the info.

Received my first batch of Cerakoted parts today and they look so nice and OEM.

This will become an addiction. Bye bye bank account balance.

    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
