Upgraded from ID1050xds to ID1300xds injectors and from the DW300c to the DW400 pump.
Everything should be back from Cerakote next week. I expect to make leaps in progress, if not nearly finish up
after the parts are in hand. Heat shielding for the fuel lines, turbo coolant lines, and turbo oil feed line will be ordered tomorrow as will the upgraded pump. ID1300s are in hand. Will be able to wrap up the Setrab oil cooler and Improved Racing inline thermostat. Couple of odds and ends fittings, bolts, hose clamps and cleaning.

Need to weld a cast 90 onto the compressor outlet to clear the power steering lines. This bit will make more sense once I upload images

Some of those pieces look like they were manufactured on the International Space Station. Just beautiful. Good thing they'll live inside a 3000-pound metal case to protect them.

Exhaust manifold is in permanently. Mocked up turbo for vac lines and next project will be, cold side, charge pipe, welding neck onto compressor outlet, and with any luck oil cooler.

sorting out the oil drain, had to grab an ultra low profile oil drain flange as the turbo is now about 2" lower than K16/Stock. Set up fittings on the turbo, less the coolant lines to again verify I'm good on space constraints. All clear.
