BWR Group Buy - Who is installed??

The last list I saw for the group buy included the following;

Brikhaus - Installed
m4mica
stinkyonion
gtlotus - Installed

Hey Rick,
You already have my name as installed, but I wanted to let you know I haven't had the first problem. No unwanted lights or noises (I can faintly hear the s/c are low rpm). Well, I have had one problem: I haven't been able to drive it as much as I want to. Its raining outside right now, so there's no driving it tonight.
Rick

Not us, holding off on both cars until season is over (got our parts though). We will get around to it in the next few months.

Getting close. Did/doing a couple of other things like change oil, quick drain valve (fujimoto?), 1/4 turn fasteners for undertray, insulation for alternator, copper header wrap, etc.

I was told by an injector retailer that the Bosch Greens don't need to have both of the dual O rings installed. Every other injector I've seen has had only one.

Anyone use just one O ring? Were the dual ringed Bosch's harder to install than single rings, like the stock ones?

That's my next step after the wrap. Won't be able to do stuff 'til next week. Gotta go out of town.
