5-10 Grand Master
What do you guys think - engine look cleaner?
Here are a few pics of the progress, see if you can tell all that is different throughout each phase:
More updates to follow!

The exhaust side of your turbo went from smooth and grey to rough and rusty.
But the valve cover looks nice.
It's too bad you couldn't route that turbo oil line somewhere in front of the valve cover and underneath the intake. It takes away from the cleanness of the engine going over the top like that. JMO.

That first pic was like the day of the completion - I used noise ninja to take a low light pic and it smoothed the surface of the turbo like that, it was grey though. Thats what 1300+ degrees F does to ****! I am getting it swaintech'd soon!

Nice. How is the turbo engine doing with MS? It has been atleast, what 6 months now....?
Make a cosmetic heat shield for that turbo, or I guess you could make it functional and appealing too.

The first video looks like it misfires when I move a connector but it was warming up and just went rich for a split second - the connector i move is unplugged

LOL check engine light is funny if I stomp test it shows "fuel pump fault" with like 20 other codes stating that the engine will not run, kind of humorous. The engine oil level is a pain though, I swapped oil pans in and used the sensor that was in there, it worked good for a long time. It started doing this oil level low so I threw a quart in there (i leak and burn some oil) and it didn't go away, so I check the level in the morning and it was like 1/3" over the "filled" mark. Meh.
Check engine, oil level, blah blah blah
