So i found out that the reason it was running bad was because I pinched the metal intake gasket. I took the intake all the way off and copper sprayed it and made sure it went on good this time.
By the way its a lot of work to put the intake on in the car.
Next I ran vacuum to the wastegate and such.
And here is the final engine bay pic.
This all done. Need clutch and Tune.

Did you get that turbo intake pipe from cxracing? If not where from and how many ports does it have on it? It is perfect to be able to look at your engine bay and see exactly how much room I have to move with parts hahah
Oh and what caps did you use to block off the water pipes under the manifold and on the intake? Those from ebay? Are they rubber, would you go those blue silicone caps on ebay to block off water?

Cool! I need those holes in the intake anyway. What about silicone caps are they any good or will they break from heat?

I had a crankwalk on act clutch same clutch you got mine was rated for 632tq i had 2 of these clutches because they hold the power with no problem, but i cost me 1 block , time and money remember i do alll my labor.
I want 800whp on my setup but why do you guys think i am still using the stock 7mgte pressure plate? I don't even wanna think about pulling engine back out .
right now if i but that act PP my car will make 750-760whp and i will be very happy with that power for a little while but it will cost me an engine and i decided not to do it
even with the clutch bypassed you will crankwalk
As a victim here are my answers
the two or really one washer that keeps your crank from going back and forth
gets thinner and thinner until it can’t take the load of the pressure plate when the clutch is depressed and it fails.
You will have metal in your pan and the thrust washers will fall in there too
but not after taking a ride around your lower block.
Your oil pump will suck up all that powdered metal and distribute it throughout your whole engine,
this process scored up my cam journals pretty badly.
When you get hit with the walk your car will stall when you push in the clutch.
it will be hard to start with the clutch pushed in.
You will have to flush the Turbo, it might take your Turbo out too..
I am not trying to be negative here , this is just a warming so you know what your are gettting
yourself into.

I read your whole entire thread bro. I will be hitting you up with questions even though it seems pretty logical that the body plugs that go to the fuse pannel on the driver side with have to be extended and if you want to you can extend the ecu plugs correct?
