They powdercoated the inside of the radiator overflow bottle .will that couse any problems , the cap fits on well . The rocker cover also has a big run in it which I will sand back and polish. Nothing a sticker can not hide buggercan see in that picture that the inside of the radiator overflow bottle was not painted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why hide the mistakes I make I rather show people so they do not make the same ,that's how I try to help others . Looks like I even went for the wrong turbo set up .jim Gianna said over the phone before I bought it that it was better then a gtx as it spooled faster and holds boost longer , looks like now it has some sort of problems with back pressure or somthing which I got no idea on .will see how it goes anyway as I worked around that turbo for all the hot side piping and intake pipes as well . Suposed to have said it starts to melt at 200 decrease so it will not be a problem .lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
