Well, i realize all that... But i'm not really close to that step yet. I'm saying I put it back together with out the oil cooler, turbo valve covers intake egr. Right now i'm air testing it again, before i go any further.

Two things, I pulled an injector out and found a tiny sliver of metal hangin onto the edge of the injector. I looked down in the hole and couldn't see anything, The injector was brand new. I took it out after The air test because i heard a leak in the are of the dummy plug or possibly injector. When i pulled the dummy plug out I found that apparently I put it in crooked or something because the nylon split washer under the o ring was kind of crooked. But would that cause the large amount of air coming out in that area? I guess i'll take that manifold off again and inspect things alittle closer.

Also is there any chance on getting a bad hpop from ford? I'll tell ya, this job is turning into a nightmare....
