I always forget to take pics until the end, and for some reason I always have issues uploading them to YW :s, but yes I definitely need pics.

I never needed to drain the colant, only a little bit drips out and as lon as you clamp/plug the lines or keep them above the block then they won't drain anymore coolant out.

I just took the current hose into a parts source and asked for the same size hose and got 3' of it. It is your typical fuel line rubber hose, 3/8 I believe.

I noticed now in th morning's the car idles at 2800rpm at start up for about 20 - 30 seconds and then normalizes. The ecu has almost went through its full cycle just waiting on the EGR check (confirmed by ultragauge). Once it ok's the EGR then i'll play with the idle screw a bit more to get the idle down to 600, it usually idles around 900-1000rpm right now.

I'll have a write up done on porting the intake by tomorrow, decided to play hooky from school and I the job today, so far so good but learning a lot
