Default Was about to start up my finished turbo project...

Don't you hate it when you get everything done and ONE TINY little thing prevents you from getting it done? Around 4pm today I try to start it and i smell fuel...it's pouring out of the downpipe...pull out injectors and I didn't lube them up enough when i pressed them in so the o-rings are chewed up.

I run to every auto store in the area and no one had the right one. So now I gotta wait to monday because of 4 littls rubber o-rings. What a pain...

if you are talking about the uppers, homedepot o-rings work fine, and they are cheap as hell so pick-up a couple sizes just to be safe.

It's the lower ones that are held on by pintle caps. Basically think of oil gushing into the cylinders while you're cranking. I'm lucky the spark plugs were so soaked that they didn't ignite. There was that much gas gushing in there becuase it was as if there was just a hole from the fuel rail to the engine instead of injectors.

Pics will be up soon. Just got my digi cam back from repair.

I ended up using PVC and plumming couplers for the intercooler piping along with some stock DSM piping to get my BOV mounted. It's really ghetto and just temp until I find something better but CHEAP because I refuse to spend any insane amount of money on some piping.
