I finally finished the car and took it for a drive to tune it and after about 30 minutes of fun the welds snaped off the manifold and caused the turbo to drop. by the time i got home I had oil coming out both sides of the turbo intake and exhaust. the oil return line appeared to be pinched what do you guys think blown seals or just got flooded with oil. also my settings on the afc a really crazy compared to everyone else. as low as -22 on the high and still have detonation close to redline. i'm using blue tops, 255 fuel pump, and SAFC II.

Hmmm, pinched return line, and now its bleeding from both sides.... I dont think its looking good, but who knows. Bolt it back up and see what happens.

Toss in higher octane gas, retard the timing ~2-3 degrees and throw in some colder plugs and you should be good to go

"welds snaped off the manifold and caused the turbo to drop" ...

what did you use for a welder and what materials for the manifold?

I bought it like that i have no idea but it sucked. good new i got it rewelded and the turbo is fine. took it for a little drive last night now time to figure out how to get it to stop running so lean.
