so far so good, gotta tighten up some clamps on that one connection. found my clamps on my intercooer were loose so that was a bad source there for leaks. I still got a leak right where the one connection is on the "hoop". I cut it on one of the spots where it had a flat spot and isn't sealing (of course) so im not seeing any thing over 1psi lol my fault
HOWEVER!!!! I got a SLP ypipe put in place of the 3" ORY and man is it nice to have clearance again under the car and to have no exhaust leaks any more. I can hear the turbo spool every time I punch it the only pipe that's low is the one pipe in front of the rear tire and I clear everything. Even can go over speed bumps again even with a 1.25" drop
just gotta get these last intake leaks ironed out and should be back to boosting 9psi again.

welp, moved the wastegate reference back to the intake manifold and checked all the intake pipes. im not seeing any leaks so far. still gotta wrap the exhaust. ran out of time tonight due to rain. its been a freak rainy season. we got at least 2" of rain just this morning and its still raining. if anyone knows the el paso area, when it rains it just puddles up and floods everywhere. No water sucked up unlike what everyone keeps fearing and saying will happen. huh, guess another rear turbo myth debunked lol
I was trying to install my return check valve too but the rain picked up too much and I only had time to put the rear tire back on lol
I also turned up the MBC to see if I can get 10psi tomorrow on my drive to work since its flooded right now on the roads. just turned it once

lol yeah actually. the best mod so far I did to the car was move back to Wisconsin lol
I moved back to Wisconsin from El Paso TX and the elevation change alone gave me 10 psi right off the back. I actually need a retune simply cause im loosing power from over fueling. between the 93 fuel and water/meth, im getting roughly 9.9 AFR at WOT
The car feels and sounds like a turbo car finally. it spools everytime and pulls hard. theres a tuning shop up the road form me in Waukesha
that is suppose to be really good. hopefully I an make it up there somtime.
