Octobersknight's 818 Build

[octobersknight]

I bought some TGV deletes off of C-list. These were stock TGVs that someone had taken the time to remove all the internals and weld the outer holes and fill the inner holes with Devcon aluminum putty (better thermal expansion match than JB Weld), then polish. I think they were a steal, plus I got to keep my stock ones in case something goes squirrelly with the deletes that makes the engine not run well or fail some state test. I also decided to paint them the same as the brackets I had on, so i cleaned them up and degreased, then used self-etching primer and that high-temp red engine paint.

I used new gaskets from the Fel-Pro kit and installed the TGV deletes, then grabbed my cleaned/balanced stock injectors back fresh from Witch Hunter Performance to install those.

I finished installing the fuel rails, hard fuel lines, air intake, and wiring harness.
