Bought a FM heat shield & a FM CAI box about a year ago to see if they would fit with my MK kit. It looks like the heat shield fits with a little bit of relief grinding on the upper lip. The CAI box is going to be a little bit trickier. I ordered up a 135° and a 45° elbow. We'll see if that does the trick.

I've just about got the MK turbo to play nice with the FM airbox. I used a 135* and a 45* elbow.
I had to open up the hole a bit to make things fit. Nothing a little speed tape can't class up.
The old exhaust manifold gasket should roughly represent the level of the hood. It's getting just about dialed.

I think I've got my IC fitment sorted out, although I'm a little worried about tire clearance. There's ~2 1/4" clearance between the tires and IC pipes with the car on jacks and the wheels at full lock. Other than that, I think it's just a matter of sealing back up the holes I hacked in the under tray.

coolant reroute leak patched up. Now I'm loading my map & calibrating sensors. My VVT OCV solenoid is making racket with the key on/engine off and TS VVT output set to off. This seems fishy.

Car no start. Here's what the composite log looks like. This looks at least like I'm getting a signal from both the cam & crank, but it looks kinda hosed up. Any intuition as to what I've done wrong?
