I was looking at my new 4 port ebc valve and I need to change it with the old connector for the wiring harness. I guess polarity doesnt matter?

It also has an IN / OUT / 1 / 2 output. I´ll need to look up how I need to hook it up to the wastegate

Thinking about wrapping the header, mostly for looks.
All stainless steel so no fear for rusting out.
Toughts?

Oh man, I hate that stuff so much! Can't touch the exhaust without getting itchy. It has its place, and some may end up on the header going into my bus, mainly to keep temps down, but I'm not a fan in general. Wear rubber gloves when handling!

The shop I bought it from was verry helpfull, they even sent a pair of gloves and extra instructions.
They helped me calculate how much I would need but i´m not sure it´ll be enough. I got 2x 15meters

My Dad told me to do my up pipe from bottom to top. Like roof shingles. This way dirt , dust and crud wont build up on the ridges if you were to go from top to bottom. I tried it like my Dad said and turned out great and seems to not have any build up of dirt etc.
Just a thought.

I did it from bottom to top.
Today we put the block together. Mostly cleaning parts, handing him his tools and asking questions. We had a lot of fun. Saturday the 13th we hope to finish it.

Just ordered a set of those myself. How long did you wait? I’ve been told it’s a 5 week turnaround at the moment.
