Dont tell me this, as I plan to swap my gimmick out this winter for the samco I have....:chair:Reinstalled the intake manifold.
What a PITA trying to get the samco turbo inlet onto the turbo, had to make a mini "shoe horn" as the edge of the hose kept getting caught on the turbo instead of slipping over it.
Possibly the most satisfying moment when after 2 hours of wiggling it finally popped on.
Supposedly the samco fits better than the gimmick. The edge of the hose on the underside just kept getting caught on the 16g's compressor inlet. I ended up bending some wire up to make an L that I could just stick between the hose and turbo and slide around the compressor inlet to pop it on. That combined with lots of wiggling finally got it in place. If you have your tgv's deleted it should be a piece of cake though as I had no wiggle room on the turbo side of the IM.Dont tell me this, as I plan to swap my gimmick out this winter for the samco I have....:chair:
Tgv's are still in place here. Do you think the spacers helped? Im on the fence on pulling the Tgv's and adding spacers when I pull the manifold.Supposedly the samco fits better than the gimmick.

Also got the phenolic spacers on at the same time, ended up RTVing the upper gasket to the spacer as it kept moving out of place whenever I put the intake manifold in. With it RTVed it was much easier (could slide the intake manifold around ontop of it to get everything positioned correctly)
