The trans dipstick has a nut on one of the bell housing bolts..
engine oil dipstick has one bolt in the head.. twist and pull. sometimes they can be a pain to get out.

I ended up cutting it and using a small section of efi fuel line with two hose clamps. I did not wanna break it off and it wasn't even moving.

Manifold is on. Cross over is on. Heater hose are ran. Pan is tapped. Turbo is clocked. Oil feed fitting installed. Heat shield on spark wires. New tr6 plugs at .035.

Tomorrow Ill attack the Maf wiring, turbo drain, mount turbo, IC piping, BOV, WG, and vacuum lines. I didn't touch the gauges yet, once friends see the shop doors open and me in here they stop in and ruin all production. Lol.

Couple questions again.

What way do u bolt the turbo. Nuts on top or bottom?
Should the turbo feed and drain be straight up and down?
What do I do with the vacuum port on the pass valve cover? It used to connect to the intake tube.

Thanks Rick for answering my questions when I txt u!!! Customer service is awesome

I had the nuts on the bottom on mine.

The turbo needs to be clocked so that the drain goes straight down.

I would get a catch can so that your PCV still functions properly. If you do a search you will see some of the options out there and I think someone did a writeup on them not too long ago.

I don't have a catch can right now. But when I do I want pic number four right?
LS1TECH - View Single Post - My catch can routing ok?

Remember this is an 09. I still don't know what port to cap and which one to put the check valve in.

Put a check valve in the line going from intake to the back of the drive side valve cover. On the front of the passenger side cover just hook a hose to it and put a little auto zone breather at the end of it. This is exactly how I have mine and have had absolutely no problems at all. No catch can required.

I lost my photobucket pw. Lol.

I'll get some pic up. I'm close to firing it but don't have the clamp to install the bov to the intake pipe and when I tried to tighten the port boot in the top of the bov it started spinning. Not stripped but not tightening. It's about snug now.

The bov also comes w another all black spring. Should I swap the spring out like I did w the WG? There is no instructions w the bov

I up the 3psi spring in it. Im scared to blow up the Trans w the 6 lb spring. I need to get it up and running for a while before I start cranking it. This is my dd and I have a couple road trips and weddings coming up and i don't wanna drive my mustang.
