I was interrupted for a couple of days on my projects by something that's called "Christmas". Entire Norway shuts down. This is from 3am on Christmas Eve - which is the big day in Norway. Nobody does anything on 1st day of Christmas, so I had to wait an entire day to continue. Haha!

Then I got started on the turbo and injector project. I jacked the car up on stands, removed the air intake, passenger side battery, and the inner fender. The inder fender was all 13mm, except one weird one that was a inch-based socket and not a metric one, of course, attaching some plastic in the front.
I have tried to be organized this time, so I bought a roll of ziplock bags at a grocery store. I put bolts and nuts and pieces to them, and marked them, so its easy to find, and I could keep it out of the engine compartment. I also used them to block off the different ports.

When I had gotten the turbo out, I hit my first big bummer in my series of projects. I had the new injectors. I had the new injector socket. I had just about almost everything tucked away and ready to do the work. Had cleaned all the surfaces. I had no injector return lines. They were supposed to be in a box, but they weren't. And it was Christmas and everything is closed. I decided to try to re-use the old lines, but I quickly realized that I needed new ones, and at least new hose clamps. As I had already started removing the old lines, I decided to try to at least loosen the injectors on the turbo side. They were stuck. Proper stuck. - temps outside, and the battery was out - so I couldn't start the truck and run it warm. I let it stay plugged in over night. Three days later when I tried to use the block heater the earth protection tripped in the garage, so I'm afraid I might have left it in for too long. I hope I haven't burned something, cause I really like to know that I have the block heater should I need it.
Anyway, the injectors was stuck, so I went to the warehouse of a company I work for where my welder guy who helps me a lot hangs in the evenings. I brought Kaktus along with me to the shop. He was very happy to get his own shiny bolt! He rides on my shoulder in the car. We like to drive the burb together!

Came back from the shop with an extension for my breaker bar. MAN, those injectors came loose, but it needed work!

Got the new injectors torqued down, and connected the fuel lines. I made sure to clean the end of the fuel lines before I connected them.
