I picked up the manifolds from the ceramic coater this morning. They look awesome. A nice flat black, 2000 degree coating. Very nice work, and they didn't charge me an arm and a leg either.
Turbo inlet hose should arrive today, I have all the gaskets I need, all that's left is, well, the turbo, and the replacement nuts and bolts to attach everything. If anything I just want the turbo to get here in time to install this weekend, otherwise I might hafta pay Dave in beer to help me put it on after turkey day (if he's still here).
