watch out...your oil cap is backwards too. thats asking for trouble.
no...but in all seriousness, dremel out the intake plenum and the exhaust manifold too. some nice gains to be had there, while its out and accessible...and you have time lol. beautiful looking car, and you can fix up the engine easily.
the nuts on the bottom of the turbo for the hard oil lines are a pain in the ass. get underneath the car with lots of light, or a big flashlight, and use some extensions to reach up to the turbo and it shouldnt be a problem once the socket is on the nut. hopefully yours werent as rounded as mine were, because it took me a long time in 20 degree weather to get them off.
