Been busy with traveling and some personal issues..

Managed to pull the motor out

Found this! looks like it was resting against the turbo. Perhaps, that's the reason for overheating...

Upgraded the hose from nylon braided to steel braided with heat sleeves.

Mounted gt2871r

Safety wired the elbow

Ogura for added power

Changed trans front seal along with couple gaskets

Got the motor back in
Still need to do alot more, but hopefully car will be running soon!
