Nice! What model year is it? If that’s the stock battery, it’s probably close to being on borrowed time. ---

1. It probably is the stock battery but either way I hate the maintenance style batteries so it will be replaced soon anyways. ---

Heat wrap the power steering lines next to the turbo if it hasn’t been done already. ---

I actually didn’t notice the ps lines but the turbo has been blanketed and the header is wrapped. I’ll have to take a look at the P.S. lines though. Also, the oil line to the turbo (apparently the one that always cracks) is replaced with a s/s braided line. ---

let me know when and where. Guss gave me a 5 gal bucket about 1/2 full but I could always use some more. How long does it take to go bad though? Not sure I’ll need a whole lot but if it takes a while to go bad then there no reason to not keep some around. ---

Not sure I’ll need a whole lot but if it takes a while to go bad then there no reason to not keep some around. no idea, keep it sealed and you are fine. and besides you mix it 50/50 id imagine… i have 5 gallons… pm me and let me know what works for you. what you use depends on nozzle size and how much you really get on it. my friend would use about 1 gallon(ran 100%) every 2 weeks, but he had a big dual nozzle setup and the car saw alot of 20-130 pulls in its time. ---
