Sigh. I love FDs. Maybe I should have included one on my 'million dollars' list.

Yeap then put 2 clear coats on the letters so they don't rust .

Good thinking ahead about the clear coat but you don't really have to, mine have yet to rust without anything on them. Is that what you PMed me about when my account was full? Sorry man haha.

Alright BOV is on!!! Ready to start driving this thing around.

Looks good man!

Only things I would point out: OEM plastic AST tank is extremely failure prone and then you're dumping coolant. I would get a metal AST or delete the AST altogether like I'm doing ASAP.

Also, looks like there are still some nipples open creating leaks (most obvious one is on the turbo compressor discharge pipe).

Polished AST is on the way already. I dont know what to do with those nipples.
