          I'm at 18psi on metric blues. A resused set at that. Over 20k miles clocked.

                Jack it up a few inches and let it idle. Better check out that hissing noise asap if you're smelling fuel. Don't want it to turn into a Ferarri.
                Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                  Gasket it in.. And I'm going to use the metal line cutter and remove the crumpled portion.. Maybe causing to much pressure and forcing a leak some where else

                          You could do what I did if you wanna make a quick spooling 250 on the cheaper side of things....It's 24lb injectors, a volvo turbo & intercooler, and a retuned stock chip. It took a little fiddling with the afm but it's running great. Stock hg and bolts, although I will probably switch to ARPs as soon as I can.

                              Just ask what you want to know, details are in my build thread.
