Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.
just ordered the 14point7 wideband. it should be here in a week or so.
sounds like its pretty easy to assemble. and tuning should be easier with it.
as soon as i do ill be good. ive been driving still only keeping the boost controller out of boost
completely.

oxy-fuel manif FTMFW
nylon oil line, wowz
5psi on a 16g with those pistons with that head gasket - bah you're fine. If you're really worried about it, or spiking alot then ebay a $50 used FMU for the time being.

Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.
my oil pressure has been acting crazy lately too. the nylon line seems to holding up fine. longest drive was 30 minutes on the freeway.
i topped off my engine with 5w20 synthetic mobile one. ever since then the pressure has been a little high. its been snowing too. maybe
the cold has something to do with it.
the MS is going in as soon as the wideband gets here.
looking for a bosch o2 sensor bung to weld in.

Re: finally turbo'd after over a year.
heres how my chunky *** DP comes through. barely missing the steering knuckle.
i made it two seperate pieces because of how heavy it is.
after watching that tubing torrent i think im going to remake the downpipe a lot cleaner.
it has like 30 cut and welded spots. and the flanges i built to make it 2 pieces is even worse.
hahah. ill try and get some pics of that from under the car.
