Coils are PR painted black with custom HT leads.
PCV is return to turbo inlet via custom catch can and oil/air separator.

Any more pics on the PR set up ? I've been wanting to do this to my coils myself. What paint did you use and and where'd you get the HT leads ?

Made some progress. Powdercoated the strut brace black, upgraded the BOV line to 4AN and finally got my hands on an M3 cowl. M18 valve cover is going to powdercoat probably next week.

@Turby

any chance you remember what 8 wires it was?

would be cool if we can just make a jumper harness

@Erichale77
whats up with the PS reservoir, is that just a cover?! looks cool!

No its a billet aluminum PS reservoir to keep temps down

Got my hands on a nice BL kit. This makes it even better. Will have to clean up the wiring again soon and get a new filter.

Uro has an aluminum oil filter cap with a cage for our cars, I can't find it online but it's coming from worldpac tommorow for a customer car I'll snap some pics. Might go nice with the AL valve covers n stuff.

Thank you @9krpmrx8

Anyone know a good coolant overflow that i can use instead my vw setup that will be thin enough to fit and not touch my tire. I checked the one that Turner sells but its too thick/deep that it will touch my tire(285)?

To the people that got aftermarket overflow tank, how did you wire it(sensor)?

Matched my engine cover to the car, I’m sure I’ll get some hate on the wrap. But I like it ‍ I’m also still in the works of cleaning up my coolant reservoir/power steering mounting and a few other exterior things.

how did you get the coolant reservoir to work with the coolant sensor/light on dash?
