Time for updates...
since last time I have:
cleaned and painted the water pump housing
cleaned and painted both fuel rails
cleaned and painted the thermostat neck
pulled the turbo apart (found the exhaust housing is junk) clean and painted the compressor housing
mounted the upper intake
mounted the upper fuel rail (need to put injectors in of course)
put the water pump housing on (awaiting water pump)
here are some pictures
From a nice neat table to this mess
