Day 7 TD

 On day 7 I called around to some local shops to try to get someone to weld the kit. Couldn’t find anyone who could take on the job at this point. I took my fuel rails and injectors back out to put some heat shielding in between the manifolds and my injectors, total time spent was 8 hours.

Day 6

 Day 6 I began shopping for piping in the morning to weld into the pre existing turbo kit, me and Chris drove down to Boston to pick up a y pipe that will split under the front pipe on the bottom of the car. We were out for about 3 hours on the morning then came home to pack up the rest of the turbo kit to bring up north. This was a total of 9 hours considering the drive time up and down from Boston and Andover.

Day 2 TD

 Day 2 was a big day for the operation. Jeep got hauled up to wilmot in the morning. I began unloading tools and parts out of the truck to get me ready to roll. Headed out to baseball practice shortly after the arrival of the jeep. When I got back I began assembling the sensors on the new throttle body (circular part with butterfly valve in the middle). After that I got my injectors mounted inside the fuel rails and sealed them to the intake manifold. Spend some time putting together a list of what I needed from Massachusetts and the hardware store.
