I know you're new here Adam, but when you clean and paint things you're supposed to give us photos. We all love pictures.
So how long did it take you? Did you go ahead and tighten up the orange boots on top of the motor while you were in there? Have you taken it for a spin yet? How do you like the new sound?
Good job on the new mod.

I know but it was dark til I got done. I'll throw some pics on tomorrow. It took an hour and half for me just to get the rest of that glue off. No I didn't tighten the orange boots. I did take it for a drive and noticed the turbo whistle more. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get my exhaust done.

My motor is a mess too. I will check those out tomorrow. You said they are on the top of the motor? I noticed some oil down in the valley there. Thanks for the heads up Chris.

The orange boots are just below the blue and black boots on the end of the IC pipes sitting on top of the motor. You played with the IC pipe with the blue boots today.
Here's a view of the passenger side (note the black boot just above it for reference)
Here's a pic of the drivers side (you can see the blue boot for reference)

BE CAREFUL. You may even be better off removing the manifold and boots and cleaning it all properly as opposed to trying to tighten the boots and crushing your plenum tube. It has happened more than once.
They are so oily they may squirm and deform causing you to try to tighten them more. I got tired of that and replaced those oil soaked memory having orange hoses with marine grade ones.
