Intake manifold and that glorified carburettor we call an injection system all cleaned up with new seals and orings everywhere, looks purdy now :).

Prozac...
Are you using stock ecu?
The yreally as glorified carbs huh? even my Dash one is basic as heck, and apparently they're move advanced than your 8V style...?

Yup, stock ECU for the moment. I just need to get it running first, then the MPI can begin.
By glorified carb i just mean its an antiquated system. Does its job though, but dosent really have a huge scope for improvement.
The Dash ones are basically the same, still just 2 injectors, but they are apparently staged. Its uses just one to idle, with the other kicking in when your other 4 valves do. Thats hear-say tho, getting solid info on it is next to impossible ;). If it runs and goes hard tho, who cares :).

Shit, thats really not to shabby, for 13psi. I'll be running the factory intercooled model tc-05 for the moment. I do have a T3/4 there for later on tho, when i've built an exhaust manifold. .63 exhaust housing (factory off and FJ20, or SOHC VG30), and a big Turbonetics front cover and wheel. Will be interesting to see how it goes with a stock head and cam... Might be a little on the large side :/.
Jas, i'll pop some more pics up soon. Engine is almost all back together and is looking fucking tasty :). I went with a blue theme as thats the only colour i could get the 2.5" hose in for the x-over pipe to TBI connection, hah.
