    ran vac to the valve cover and it worked flawless! not even a hint of smoke, and maybe its in my head but the car seemed to idle better also.

      Nice build! When you eventually switch diffs I'll take the 4.27 off your hands. Just let me know when and I'll even cover shipping haha.

        made a more aggressive tune and its working excellent! Need to film some videos for you guys, its a completely different car on 11psi with the proper tune. Its a real tire smoker now but at the same time if your cautious you can really get it to hook up and go.

          Why would you put the return bung right under one of the oil pan bolts lol

            its 100% flat there and I can simply unscrew the bung to remove my pan..... how often do you need to remove a pan? just treat it as a 24mm bolt that needs to be removed to get the pan off, an extra 3 seconds to remove a pan isn't a big deal.

                  Where did you get that awesome elbow coming off your turbo? I've been looking everywhere for those!

                        safely made it to 12psi. I have enough fuel for 12.0- 12.4AFR under WOT.
                        I can run 0-60 in under 5 seconds and my top speed is just about 125mph at 6100rpms.

                          NICE WORK! You definitely need to make some more videos. Are you running into traction issues? how is the lag?

                            Yes I do; and I just got a new camera:)

                            traction is only an issue going into second gear if its a straight line. If there is ANY curve in the road you will get sideways if you aren't careful. Honestly, lag is not noticeable at all with my gearing, I'm rarely below 2.5K and by 3krpms I have full boost. It is very peppy and boost hits VERY hard:)

                              No issues with the plug wires getting too hot? I just put some DEI fire sleeve stuff on mine.
