So.... I have a tuning appointment this coming Monday and I'm already cutting it close with waiting on additional parts to arrive so I can finish the fuel rail installation. Now I'm debating sending the injectors out to get flow tested and cleaned while everything is apart. The vendor quoted a 24 to 48 hr turnaround time. Should I risk it? Three of the injector tips looked clean, one had some browning (Cylinder 4 go figure).

Typical Spec B fashion..... While removing the oem fuel rails I proceeded to attempt removing one of the Valve duty Solenoid hoses from the rail only to have both plastic nipples on the solenoid break off. I also had to modify the oem injector plugs to clear the IAG rails. One of the injectors o-rings broke in two while pushing the injector unto the rail, and yes I had greased the o-ring and fuel rail. Thankfully I had a spare one. I'm using DW1300cc injectors which AIG does not indicate will work with their rails so no harm no foul. Story is now to be continued...

Spent 2.5 hrs removing the intake manifold. Tomorrow the oem fuel rails get replaced with IAG variants and custom fuel lines. Once removed I realized it would be super easy to install the Dom cooling mod but that would mean the car won't be back on the road Monday like I wanted. Decisions, decisions.

Straighten my steering wheel which was pointing slightly to the left after the alignment. Drained the Mobil 1 Delvac from the transmission after trying it for a thousand miles and swapped it for Motul 300. The transmission drain plug stripped (of course) but I was prepared already with a brand new one in hand. For those interested, I had no issues with the Mobil 1 Delvac. In fact in the thousand miles I had it a noticeable difference was felt when shifting from 4th to 5th when boosting anything over 14 psi or so. To clarify I didn't have a grind per say but I could feel the synchro needed a little longer to catch if that makes sense. Let's see what a 1,000 miles on Motul feels like. As of my short drive to work today (14 Miles) I'd argue that Mobil 1 Delvac is most definitely a viable option. Specially considering the price difference. In fact I left the Delvac in my rear diff alone.

quick 6MT shifter linkage question..

I have the Gen 1 which was made with stainless steel vs titanium. Mine has no bearing. It made a huge improvement as far as feel and side to side play while in gear. It will introduce some slight vibration but nothing too bothersome. I do have to point out I installed one of these at the same time. I also have all other shifter bushings replaced. -
