oil lines hooked up today.. bent the dip stick so I can still check my oil

need a bigger drain hose since my fitting on the oil pan is 3/4"

also I fixed my wastegate.. took a dremel to the valve seat section to make the 38mm ring fit (it's a 35mm wastegate)
also also, I found out my nissan BOV is seized up, so buk is sending me a ching chong bov.. jay you are awesome!
