^ Yeah I'll be cleaning it up a little. I'm just going to pull off the small strands here and there. I'm not going to grind the thicker stuff down.
You'll just have to wait and see how it looks. (I guess I will too.  )I got my BlackTops calibrated and they are doing good- Dude was pretty cool and I only had to pay $20 instead of the normal $10/ea. price! woot.  Cell phone pic sry: one was "weak"  So we shot some air through it and it blew whatever it was that was blocking it out! right on the money!  Pulled my head off     Heres the porting job KMS did (not bad!)   Talk about piston to wall clearance! .011"   New headgasket: (a little bigger )  It doesn't really line up with the coolant holes on the block gaurd on 3 &4. Coolant can still pass through, but it's not a perfect opening. I used it anyway, but does anyone think this will present a problem?   IM gasket(want to get a Hondata type)  DONE 1.5hrs. But I need my Torque Wrench from my buddy to get the 2nd stage of torquing in. (22 lbs is easy enough to use your 'calibrated arm' with. 49.... eh not so much)  My buddy will hopefully have a wastegate actuator laying around in his shop. If I can't get one, I won't be boosting! (literally... the flapper would just hang open and wouldn't boost crap... Next I'll install my injectors and all of my piping (including downpipe) then tuning. giggity. -Andrew __________________

 When everything is on and functioning, I drive it almost once a day so maybe 3-5/week. If there was a rain cloud in the sky I'd take another vehicle. I'm going to be especially paranoid about rain getting into the inlet of the turbo. I'm probably just going to run a screen on it to keep babies arms out |

Also, look at yoru spark plugs? The one looks white, the others are normal color. Is that because of the flash (hope so). If not, you've got a lil prob w/that cylinder. |

No they're fine. It's just the flash. They are all Tan
 And I don't think I'm going to run a filter right now. I'll slap my K&N on there after a while. IDK. I just need to get it going first. Filters aren't very important since I don't drive a) daily and b) in the rain or c) on dirt roads (and no, my driveway doesnt count b/c I drive at 1 mph lol) Oh! And lucky me! My friend's dad has a box full of BRAND NEW wastegates that he's giving to me. (idk about all of them but at least the one(s) i want. If theres anything worthwhile I'll snag 'em too and see if anyone on here needs one! __________________

Is it made for that application, or are just making it fit. I hate when you buy things that are supposed to fit and they dont. Why didnt someone on the manufacturing end check things out first.

Update!
Worked on the car all day and most of the night! Got a LOT done, and I'd venture to say I'm about 95% complete. I've got to finish: -Oil Drain -Hot side piping -Mount bumper -Compression check to see if that headgasket is gonna leak!  -And of course tuning. I'm sortof scheduled to do it tonight, so I'll have to make sure I'm finished up by 7-8pm. Drilled out the passages for the Headgasket: ( I called Cometic and they said it was cool)       Torqued the head  Got the Wastegate figured out (took some fab) BTW it's a brand new WG set at 10psi!  Injectors and bushings modded and installed:     Installed Valve cover and pulled spark plugs(b/c 1. I bought new ones (BKR7ES-11) and 2. cause we're going to do a compression test first off)  I know you guys like my -10AN fittings for the breather box haha I'm an idiot, though. I should have 'started' on the back one, because since I did it last, it looks be best! lol... oh well. These valve covers are a dime a dozen.  Terrance mounting the BOV  I'm going to convert to this pipe asap. it happens to be a perfect fit! I just need to get another (cleaner) BOV flange.  Oil Pan is on. I'm almost finished with the drain line; it'll be done today!  Terrance got busy working on a "new" setup for my Hot side. Tiger observed.  Oil lines and Wastegate hose. I sure wish I could have run the WG line closer, but the turbo doesn't have any nipples or anything for it  Will this be a problem? it's about 3ft.  Then I tacked my DP in place so I could bring it down and weld it good. ow:  OWW:  No pain:    All welded and finally gooped up with JB to seal the small holes here and there.  UBER BIG Thanks to Terrance for helping out so much! (All day and all night!) He was just as excited as me. Can't you tell?? Get those greasy thumbs in the AIR!  __________________
