This morning I received this 4 cavity Deutsch bulkhead connector from
Prowireusa. They are one of my Go-to vendors for wiring products.
The idea behind getting this connector is that I would be able to wire the boost control solenoids to this connector and have a neat way of connecting them to the rest of the engine harness.
My friend Blake designed this little cover for the boost solenoids and it will hold the bulkhead connector in place and also give the solenoids a much cleaner look. He is also going to 3D print the cover.
Vic also added an elbow to the end of the downpipe with a v-band. The rest of the exhaust system will be built from here back.
This is a terrible picture, but I was just trying to show that the downpipe doesn't hang very low. In fact, the crossover pipe from the driver's exhaust manifold is the lowest point under the car.
Vic also made some adjustments to the short pipe that goes from the wastegate into the downpipe. It was about 3/32" too short which made it difficult to install the v-band. Vic cut that pipe, sleeved it, and welded it all back together.
You can better see the sleeve here.
He also added a small tab to keep the downpipe more stable.
Tomorrow is a big day and I can't wait to share what we have planned.
