4) Configure BOV, IACV & IAT sensor into intake piping. - Partially Done
5) Route vacuum lines between the wastegate, turbo, BOV & boost controller/gauge.
6) Finish turbo down-pipe (extend to cat-back system). - Partially Done
7) Finish wastegate down-pipe (vent to atmosphere for now, integrate later). - Partially Done
8) Configure "cat-back" exhaust (will be cat-less using v-band clamps instead of 2/3 bolt flanges.

Well, I got a lot done today. Check it out!

More post-intercooler pipe routing.

Obviously, the washer bottle had to go. Once the car is sorted mechanically, I will try to find room somewhere to place a replacement bottle.

More-post-intercooler pipe routing.

Showing off my opposing 45 degree bend "offset" pipe I had to make to clear the valve covers.

Awesome work! Meanwhile, I've been busy with another alternator failure! If you feel like another Cougar project after this, we could trade!

routing and pics look so familiar, yet yours look so much better because of the welds!

StealthyWeasel · 10-07-2007, 11:57 PM

I'm going to redo this section so that the coupler is fully below the hole in the fender and I plan on widening the hole to account for movement.
