Update on the wagon.... It got a new radiator recently. Was figuring on replacing it soon after the turbo but a broken neck stepped up the schedule a bit. Went with the Behr radiator, and installed a Behr fan clutch as well. Not entirely pleased with the fan clutch's performance at lower speeds but once revved past 3000RPM it really howls and cools things off quickly. I can't complain b/c I got an obscene deal on the new parts.
In the meantime, I've sourced an OE turbodiesel air intake system and it should be shipped in this week. I've also fabricated a downpipe from a large 220Ch. catalyst. I first cut a flange to mount to the turbo's outlet. I then welded the catalyst to it. Next I cut the rear of the catalyst off and welded on a 3" flange adaptor. I finished it by welding in an O2 sensor bung just past the inlet of the downpipe. It all tucks up tight against the engine. I'm praying it will all fit and clear the firewall. I measured as carefully as I could with the existing manifolds and pipes still in the way.
