Update from Corky



Hi DJ,
A week of nasty details. Time mostly spent on the flow meter arrangements.

To maintain the abominable engine cover many little things had to move . This is easy enough, but sort of gangs up on things. The heat shield at the brakes, vac bleed lines, A/C hoses, a few brackets and wires. All these details will likely take an installer about two hours to do. I spent about 45 hours with it.

I’ve got the flow meter tucked just outboard of the driver side of the cover. It anchors to a bracket attached to the cam cover and over the coils. The need for four iterations on the meter mount in order to get it right was a pain.

The only part remaining to construct is the compressor discharge tube from the turbo to the intercooler. “Only,” doesn’t include a few heat shields.

I think we are still compromise and mistake free. She is beginning to look like a finished product. Perhaps not magnificent, but certainly tidy.

Regards,

Corky
