No that drain was already on the turbo, I got a go-autoworks oil line kit to go on. I was an idiot and mounted the turbo before I switched the oil drain flange. Now I got to scrape off the old gasket with it on the car and that's a btch. Already tightended everything down and don't really want to take the turbo off again but if I need to i'm going to.That's what your using for a return?

Also Patrick only has his Integra, I'm about to have a 4th vehicle, plus an additional 3 more in case I get SOL somehow, some way.. 4 if you count my dad's bike. Therefore I lose the need to make fixing a problem with my car a priority, as I'm already busy with other things right now. Therefore, in Patrick's shoes, yes, I'd get on that shit ASAP.
I don't care if you have 12 cars, driving on the brakes you did and with the limping gearbox is dangerous. I don't see Matt allowing you to run a Raceline event with the current condition of your car, and if he did, I would be sure to stay the fuck away from your murder bucket on the track

Yep, I had used a paper gasket instead of stainless steel on the wastegate before. Never again will I do that. Scraping gaskets is just not my thing. Lol

Yep, I put on and off the turbo/manifold about 4 times grinding down the block. I kept grinding it little at a time instead of just cutting a chunk out. And I had to take off the radiator brackets because I had to push the radiator forward in order for the turbo to not hit it. Now I got to make a new way to mount the radiator further from turbo. Got a lot of work to do before this thing's done.

Hoses sure. Some people buy the oe replacement radiators there. They can be equivalent to oe quality but really depends on who manufacturered it. Imo its kinda like hit or miss. Try to find something thats specifically oe replacement. My current one is a oe replacement, dont know the brand but ive had it for 4+ years.just did a stock rebuild
need good link for wire tuck , and also should i buy new radiator and heater hoses? from autozone or can i go to pick ur part and get some there?
Thanks in advance
