I did not... I was not convinced that with the heat the renny put out that the grease would not last. I want this car to be able to drive in stop and go rush hour traffic without me questing it... call me old fashioned i have a hard time thinking the grease would hold up and have a hard time trusting it. I did however divorce the coolant lines into its own system running NPG-R and a pump that turns off and on with the car. i could if i really felt spunky run the system on a turbo timer and larger cooler but am waiting to see temps first.

Yeah man, she is running. We worked out a major exhaust leak at the wastegate V-band but there is a still a slight exhaust leak since he needs a new midpipe gasket. But it starts and idles fine so the vacuum leak doesn't seem too bad. Short Term Fuel Trims are way off though so we need to get a tune loaded and get some logs to see what's up. It's probably a vacuum leak but that is what we have our trusty smoke tester for
But it's drivable, just need to get the small stuff back on.

Not really. Just did it. The tricky part was finding the correct pump. You dont want a replacement coolant pump as they flow way way more then you would need. I ended up using a Bosch unit from a SC'ed mustang. It draws low amps and flows all i could need. I did not want to mess with a thermostat unit or bypass for just cooing my turbo so it runs with ignition on. My reservoir is one i had no use for already in my engine bay. The hard part is finding a suitable mounting spot and getting all the correct size lines and such.
