So sick. looks like a really good time

What a weekend... just got back from the competition last night and we had a great time. The car wasn't 100% due to issues with the untested electronic boost control and the 2nd gear synchro. However, we managed a 3rd place finish in the autocross, 8th place finish in drags, and 5th place overall! Thanks for the support!

Here is a vid of our fastest autocross run... http://youtu.be/QEyQC56rus0

love the exhaust setup. it sounds so violent.

Thanks for the well wishes guys! We're much more prepared this year than last so it should go well. Had the car out to a BMW CCA autocross this past weekend and it it performed better than I expected. Just a few more things to finish up and it will look halfway decent...

Right now the valve cover is vented to atmosphere. It doesn't really smoke at all idle, only on start up and when the throttle is shut and there is load on the engine (high vacuum), so that's why I was thinking it was primarily valve seals. Either way I can see how running vacuum to the crank case may help. I assume you run it through a PCV valve?

at first I just a ran a line straight to the turboinlet but it sucked a bunch of oil up and made a few of my couplers slip. SO I added a catchcan and I've never had issue with overly oily pipes again and teh car idles real solid.

My car idles much smoother with vacuum(helps everything seal) and it completely stopped smoking on overrun.

looks great, also try running some vacuum to the valve cover if your not already. When I ran a line from the turbo inlet to valve cover it completely stopped my holset from smoking at idle and off throttle.

Good luck!!! Undecided if I will make it this year but I at $2011 a wheel almost hit my daughter and I getting a hot dog for lunch at the concession stand.

Have you tried restricting the oil feed for your turbo? 4an at 40psi is too much

As if I didn't already feel bad enough about the wheel! It won't be happening again... I couldn't find a straight answer about the restrictor so we have not tried one yet. It has a 12an drain and many that would be fine as long as we didn't load it up with cold oil... We'll try a restrictor and see. Thanks.

wow :megusta:
is that just an 885 valve cover or is it a whole 885 head?

Thanks. It is an 885 head.
