Chris, finally someone that is honest about the time it takes to do some of these projects! So, did you give any thought to just pulling the motor to give you access and reduce the frustration of working in back braking positions?

Is that catch can made out of steel or aluminum? Looks like it has some rust on it, but that could have come from elsewhere. I want to put a similar setup on my '87, which came with tiny catch cans on each turbo.

Steel. I think it’s in too much of a vulnerable place to be aluminum.

Chris, I love all your content. Did I miss it though where you manually spun the engine to make sure it isn't locked up? I'm dying to know.

Hey Chris, any updates for us, or has life gotten in the way like it tends to do fairly often ? Hope all is going well.

Was wondering where’s he’s been as well. I’m sure trying to accomplish something that takes probably 3-4 times more than on a normal C4 has him questioning what he got himself into…🤨

In one of his last videos he had bought an adult go cart, so his time and money maybe spent on having fun with it.
