Hopefully I can find a working digicam and document some of this stuff

New waterpump
KVR brake pads
Coolant reservoir delete (and TB bypass mod)
cruise control delete
PVC system rebuild
Rear endlink bushing replacement (lower bushings)

No power parts, all maintenance and cleanliness.

I was wondering, since Im going to the N/A radiator setup, would it be possible to extend the radiator fill cap to where it is in the turbo setup, for burping purposes? I cant really think of any simple and safe way of doing this. Any thoughts?

There isn't a very good way to do it... You can aid in filling the system though by putting a little flush tee where the filler tank used to be:

Then you can remove its cap and fill the system from there. That'll help fill the engine rather than just the radiator.

Why are you changing to a non-turbo radiator?

I changed to a non-turbo radiator some time ago.

Turbo radiators werent availible for under $600 in my area, the non turbo was less than $200

It never gets really hot here, and the non turbo radiator was pretty overbuilt anyway.

Watch the coolant temp gauge when going up the Malaht on a hot day.

Splinter,

From my personal experience, I'd say you'll probably be fine with the n/a radiator. It wouldn't hurt though to add some redline water wetter though.

Thats stuff works! There is also some stuff you can buy that comes in a big metal can. IT works great as well. I don't remember who make it thought. The can is black, blue and white though.
