Man, this thread continues to hit me right in the feels. 95 Saturn SL1 was my first car. This has to be the coolest Saturn on the board, if not ever. Love the work, keep it up! ---

Thanks! Not a whole lot to talk about, but I got some parts in yesterday and was able to finish mocking up the IC piping and size some vac lines for the turbo. The lower coupler by the rad will be a welded joint, and the two iat sensors will be down in that pipe to avoid heat soak. Also the bov will be up by the hump coupler Hoping to get the dump tube made this weekend, and the feed plumbed, and a couple other little things. Until then, I freeze outside. ![http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/6e0a64bf77cd765e2803764e5d4f52fd.jpg](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/6e0a64bf77cd765e2803764e5d4f52fd.jpg) ![http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/ffe43f95a7afe883f5f028ecb74d1f72.jpg](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/ffe43f95a7afe883f5f028ecb74d1f72.jpg) ![http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/576cf47060c1590fbe47eae16106ef2e.jpg](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/576cf47060c1590fbe47eae16106ef2e.jpg) ![http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/026934785b7c94b59ebb2055fde99864.jpg](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/026934785b7c94b59ebb2055fde99864.jpg) Seems like a good enough spot for the vac block ![http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/6f3a4e381b74ec987e9c1d0cfac86ea0.jpg](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/6f3a4e381b74ec987e9c1d0cfac86ea0.jpg) Do any of you guys have experience with composite intakes? Same material as LS intake manifolds. Id like to make these nipples on the manifold more boost friendly. I’ve been told they are fine, but a nice hose barb would make me feel a lot better. Thinking maybe sand the nipple and epoxy a female npt to barb fitting over it? ![http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/1013611dbb1a2cbc3e44150fd6d4421e.jpg](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/1013611dbb1a2cbc3e44150fd6d4421e.jpg) ![http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/bcfb20fd428f2e330602d873e723b6a1.jpg](http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/bcfb20fd428f2e330602d873e723b6a1.jpg) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---
