It came with my Gturbo.

I bought my Gturbo from PDI in Australia. Not directly from Graeme. Maybe it's a PDI thing?

Havent posted in a while. Progress has slowed do to work travel and i got hit with appendicitis. All good though. Gonna get after it. I have been keeping better updates on Instagram ( @bearrepubliccoatings) as it's just easier to post there.
You removed the glow screen? Where did you get the adapter for the intake after the IC?

Glow screen was replaced by a CNC water-jetted block of aluminum. Vsv has been replaced by a 3 inch throttle body. More airflow
.
I spent a day cleaning out the engine bay too. It was a greasy mess.

I would recommend an upgrade to 80 series booster and master if you have things open!
Great work btw.

@MCJakeCrim: It looks like you pulled the 12HT without taking off the front end (radiator, etc.) and without disconnecting the AC stuff. Is that correct? If so, how did you do that?
And were you able to pull it without taking off the hood? Or did you just put the hood back on after cleaning the engine bay?
Great job, by the way. Everything looks absolutely fantastic. How many hours do you think you have in it so far?

Heres a comparison pic to before cleaninng
Yeah that's the plan .

Yeah, you can pull it with the front ac core and cross member with the right equipment and if you leave the bellhousing on the transmission. It will be going back in with the bell attached. It's a pita, I'll probably pull all that out to put it in though cause the bell is on. I have a hoist lever, I may try and see if I can snake it in. Hood was removed also, it was bolted on after it go pulled.

It took me about 30 hours of work to actually put the engine together. I have about 100 hours just in cleaning and ceramic coating all the parts. What's time consuming is parts, ordering and waiting for the right parts.

Yeah, I cant seem to find the before pics. I may have accidentally deleted them. Attached is an older pic with it in.
