I remember this being discussed before and have searched the forums with no luck.
What do I do here?

I think there is a shorter outlet tip sent with the kit and then modify the 45* bend pipe and bit, add some couplers.adter you've mounted your factory intercooler to get your location and itll look something like this.

...except for the Gonzo sized turbo and intercooler!!!

Its been a couple of years, but the shorter piece that came with the kit was packaged weird so I overlooked it a dozen times. I can't remember if it was in a bag or stuffed in with some other part.

Ok that's what I vaguely remembered was a replacement outlet, I looked everywhere!
Maybe I will dig through all the boxes again...
I really want to get 1st start done!

I might have mine somewhere. I didn't use it, but it might not be for a couple hours til I get home.

Is it supposed to be in this bag?
I'll contact DF next week, hopefully they know where to look and as stated above I'm simply overlooking it. I also wanted to ask Adam about some hardware specs, If he has time to answer I know he has been very busy.

Looks like it at the bottom of the label.

A little more progress on the front suspension, engine wiring and figuring out hose and wire routing in the engine compartment and up front including brake res relocation.
I will be securing wires and hoses soon then mounting the he and duct kit. As I look through other build logs at pics I noticed the toe link bar that I am missing..... I think soon I will be held up waiting on parts again.
I still need seats, turbo outlet, toe link bar, wrap for body panels and tunnel cover, and the backordered rear coilovers.

I'm also a bit confused about the turn signal switch. There seems to be several mounting methods and I don't think I have any hardware for that.
Does anyone know the current mount design so I know for sure what I am looking for?

 

[comegetjoe]

Took these just for you... in the dark.
Those bent tabs bolt on to the black piece on the steering wheel mount, then the turn signal stalk is sandwiched/clipped inbetween the upper and lower bent tabs. Mine is not fully locked in, but I think you can see the point.

Thanks, I had just found it (in the steering wheel box) just before reading your post. I hadn't planned on using the DF steering wheel and was surprised to see the box with my kit. I bought an NRG flat wheel and quick release adapter years ago when I started my build
Maybe a second quick release hub for when I don't want to use my "nice" wheel.

Nice progress. I ended up flipping my front coil overs upside down to make it easier to make adjustments. It also slightly reduces the un sprung weight

 

[Markm]

Did anyone mention 400# springs go in front and 300# rear?

That is correct.

2 weeks with nothing worth posting, I feel like I run into a road block at every turn right now.
Rear coilovers came in yesterday, but I want to finish some other rear items before installing them.
One of the intercooler coolant 90° fittings cross threaded and stripped out, so that needs to be replaced.
I want to replace my vacuum barb with a 90° fitting.
Turbo outlet flange, toe link, and seats are holding up intake, suspension, and interior respectively.
Last night I tried to assemble the shifter and the spherical bearing and rod end are not in the hardware bag.
It's getting frustrating that every task is 1\2 or 3\4 complete but missing parts or other things need to be done first.
The weather is getting nicer and my daily is being totaled by insurance over a 6mph fender bender so I'd love to be driving the gob to work.

You have just Defined a new category of the Blues, "Builder Blues"! But know we're rooting for you!

It happens man. Step back for a sec and regroup. I hate missing parts and they really slowed down my build. Nothing like a $2 part stopping everything. There’s not much you can do about back orders and goof ups, you just have to roll with them. You got this.

I'm not upset with DF at all they have been great about correcting errors, response time is slow right now but with what they have going on that is expected.
I'm more worried I won't remember some things that are partially done and leave something hanging leading to more work/delays/failure in the future
Tonight I am running to get some of the plumbing parts replaced locally, I really don't care about spending a couple bucks on a few items to get some progress. I also may be getting tires mounted and balanced, which will at least free up a ton of shelf space.

I hear ya. Everyone needs their own system to remember where they were. Glad you are still doing things to make progress and still keep your mind on it.
