Default Semi Wire Tuck / Wastegate Install

I ordered a new Tial 38mm Wastegate and while installing it I decided to have a bit of a tidy up of the engine bay.


How it looked before


Front bumper removed (dont mind the excessiveley big intercooler)




All oil and water lines removed


Manifold and turbo out. The manifolds old owner used to run an external.


Rocker Cover off


Rocker Cover painted




Wires running in wheel wells on both sides


No more wires up front


New flange on and painted.


Reinstalled




Finished product



And that was my last 3 days in a nutshell. Overall im happy :D
