Turned up the fuel 1/4 turn today, it's was a PIA,took about 3hrs. I did the solenoid check and it is clicking. Not sure if the linkage is right, hopefully I got this back together right, can anyone verify?

Few more things done this evening. Finished the air intake plumbing. Got the oil feed together, might replace it, it's cheesy Chinese, not sure if I like it. Lastly I got the downpipe tapped for the EGT gauge, and the probe installed.

Yup, absolutely, it'll be protected soon!

Did the oil return today. Dropped the pan, added a 10an bung then ran the line down. Next up is turning up the injection pump.

It did a little tody, super hot and windy. Got the oil pan drained, need to remove it to add a 10an bung for the oil return. The LB7 turbo is water cooled, so I got those pipes and clamped today. Top pic is where I'm pulling water from, then I'm returning it the the radiator/catch can line...

Hahaha fantastic!

Here's all my gauges,the Motorola is an old NIB military 24v alt tach, anyone know what it was originally intended for? Realistically I won't use the tach, not sure if it even works . Also got my 24-12 stepdown box.

I added a manual turbo wastegate, welded 1/4 all thread to the original arms, added washers and a spring.

Hey all, figured I'd post up my boredom project. The goal was to use cheap parts, and do zero permanent mods to the M1038. Just upfront, I have HF welder and can't weld the thin stuff well so no hating on the welds, everything else is fair game. Got a LB7 dirtymax turbo, a box of pipe and some...
