Well the way the intercooler pipe attaches on the t3 is awesome. i clocked the t3 so that i dont need to route the intercooler pipe over the hot exhaust log manifold. that also let me shorten the IC pipe by maybe 2.5ft so less lag my old route wasnt that good the heat from the manifold super heated the pipe. so this should help a bunch. now i have a few questions. if i buy an aftermarket walbr 255 high pressure pump will the stock fuel pressure regulator on the fule rail basicly nulify me even having the pump? should i get rid of it? also im going to tap the other end of the fuel raid so i have a dual feed one that way no cylinder will be sarved of fuel.

question number 2. i dont wanna take my oil pan of to tap it. before i was using the dipstick tue as a return. it worked great but i wasnt abl to check my oil so im gunna tap the pan.

heres the plan drill a hole in the pan. weld on a think washer. tap the washer. thread in pipe bam done. but my dad says the welding will possibly light the oil resin that wasnt drained totally. sooo
safe than sorry? or just try it lol.

take off the oil pan and do it right

it only takes RTV to seal it again.

take it off, and put a barbed fitting, drill the hole, but the threaded part of teh barbed fitting in the pan, then get a nut and rubber washer and tighten her down, then top it off with some JB weld.

let it dry overnight and put the pan back on.

took me an hour to remove the pan, drill it, tap it(didnt have to do that) then put the nut/rubber washer on with some JB weld.

looking good so far, get back in that garage and finish up
