I shouldnt get to the piping until Friday, tomorrow Im just finishing the fuel pump assembly and hopefully the injector swap and put the plenums back on.
Tig: the holes in the pump assembly are to ensure the Walbro pump can get as much fuel as possible even when the fuel is low. If you look through the holes when the pump assembly is back together the fuel pickup and bag are right there.
Alberto: Do me a favor and open the hardware kit with the clamps in it. Check the v band clamps if you would. There should be two 3" Vband clamps and 3 2.5" clamps...make sure you have the right number. Just in case as that could hold up the install if you don't catch it before Friday when they can send it out overnight.
ALL AGAIN: So I got into a tissle (is that really a word) with what I think was an N/A Z tonight...lol. I stayed in 5th even at 65 when we went and still put almost 5 cars on him by 6th...
Moral of the story, you're going to love boost..

Hey Alberto one of my O-rings broke on my injectors so all I did was go to Auto-Zone and picked up a packet of an assortment of O-rings and there it was the same size.
If you havent got one might want to try that.

Edit-ok called a local dealer they have the o-ring in stock, they want $7.79 for a $.10 piece, damn dealers bending people over. I might still try the parts store and find it cheaper if not I know I have one at least.
MIA-thanks for your offer to help man, but it seems I wont have to ship anything over, thanks again....

Update-went to 2 different parts stores asking for injector o-rings or o-ring packs like Red Hot Z suggested. Both places told me to not use those o-rings they arent designed to be around fuel and it would eat them away. So I ended up going to the dealer and buying a few injector o-rings...
Red Hot Z-I hope those o-rings you bought were ok to use around gas man...
Oh and BTW-my ECU just made it back home

Well just got done a few beers and some nachos and cheese after a decent nights work with a friend of mine.
I finished swapping injectors, and putting the plenums on. I also put the new o-ring in the gas tank and put the fuel pump assembly back in, along with the ECU and all the panels. Then some friends came over, we put the car in the air and, removed the front bumper, bottom engine cover, drained the oil and power steering cooler, and moved the PS cooler to the passenger side fender. The lines were kinda hard to get off but it wasnt to bad. Also dropped the Injen exhaust out for good, and removed the test-pipes, and drivers side heat shield. Tomorrow we start with installing and tapping the JWT oil pan spacer, and from there we'll start putting the pipes up. Got a lot done tonight more than I wanted so Im happy. Ill let you guys know how it goes tomorrow...
