[urq] "The Project"

[quattrodude at comcast.net]

I think I would rather keep both oil filters too, I dont find them that hard to move and with the alternator on the other side...should not be a problem...I would rather replace oil filters and oil more than a turbo..?

I'm now on the hunt I guess for 5KTQ waters lines...that should be fun. Prob a NLA part too if I want new...

(and Brandon, yes it is a KKK center so oil and water should be standard setup)

I guess before I start tearing everything apart, is this even doable getting to bolts on the exhaust manifold? without the engine out?
