Finally got the Katech oil pump. Is it worth $500 bucks, who knows. One thing to note is the little clip that holds the wiring doesn't fully go into the katech pump. The hole is there but its not deep enough so I cut it off. Doubt its going to be an issue but I was surprised I couldn't get it in there. It bent to shit when trying to push it in. I forgot about it until after the pump was already installed. If I would tried while the pump was on the bench, I might have been able to get it.

RabbitZL1 reached out to me on FB and pushed me to update my oil return system video. I ended up pressing out that little down tube inside the oil pan. Not sure it'll help but it sure wont hurt.

Here ya go RabbitZL1 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/BOOSTEC-M22...-/111800695888

I cleaned up my brake booster vac hoses. They were kinda rigged up in the fender area before. The oem diagram shows intake to T fitting. One side goes to booster and other side goes to vac motor next to the bumper. Each section has a check valve. I put a check valve in the hose from the manifold to the T then tucked the hose up behind/above the booster. One short section coming down into the booster and the section goes inside the fender up and around the top over to the vac motor in the front. I figure as long as the Boost stays out of the system, it'll work fine.

Motor is back in the car. I'm leaving it pretty bare until I get all the misc crap figured out. Its very tight once the turbo kit starts going in.

I'm also purchasing a lot of products from motion raceworks. They seem like a great USA product, Doug is always posting great info, they are out racing all the time with their 5th gen motor in a nova. Their products are great. If they have something I want, like the vac block, Ill spend the 70 with them instead of the 35 on amazon.
