Based on the second picture it looks like it controls the heater valve

I hope you're planning on cleaning/repainting the engine bay. You pulled way more than necessary to get the engine out

So... when's your build thread coming? No lie, I said the k20 swap just joking, but now stoked that you're actually doing it. lol

I might sit down in the next few weeks and get everyone caught up with part updates and build updates along with all the pictures I have.
I have a k swap album on my facebook documenting it.
this build means alot, this was my late brothers carr. He always wanted a high horsepower turbo build. He passed away 1 1/2 years ago. Car sat for a year covered in my driveway while I debated what to do with it.
now I am about 7 to 8 months and thousands upon thousands of dollars in with end in sight this time next year.
Will be a weekend 100%street warrior with power goals of 6 to 7 low and 9 on kill if need be.
