Brakes, Firewall, Turbo

I finished up the brake lines today. Next step is to fill the reservoir, bleed the system and check for leaks. Once the system checks out, I'll finalize mounting the brackets, and standoffs on the gear legs.

I also temporarily installed the coolant tank on the firewall, cut the hose to connect it to thermostat housing, extended the hose on the thermostat housing to push the housing closer to the firewall without touching the voltage regulator. This was to verify everything was fitting without problems.

I temporarily mounted the waste gate servo in the bracket I made to verify fit.

 

I had to clock the turbo to fit the plumbing for the intercooler. The pic of the engine on the hoist shows how it was before I changed it.
