Noob boosted D, pics when I get a camera
 

So after collecting parts with the little money I've had for 3 years I've finally thrown it all together. Yeah this post is useless without pics, but I don't make posts very much so flame on till I get some pics up.

Stock rebuilt Z6 head
Z6 block .5mm over with CP 9:1 (Y8) pistons and Eagle Rods. I've been breaking in the block since spring break when I built it. It has tons of piston slap and sounds like a diesel, but I love it. It might also be the wrist pins moving around, I'm not worried.
14b turbo, HF mani, funky adapter plate, homemade 3" dp with 2" tied in wastegate tube (this ---- was hard to fit)
Full 3" mandrel bent exhaust with gutted 3" cat (for inspection purposes) to a 3" Magnaflow
JRC 8" fmic with 2.5" pipes and t-bolt clamps
Fuel pump directly wired off the battery with #10 wire (up from the #20 or whatever the stock pump is wired with lol)
PCV system removed. I have 3/8" lines running from the VC and charcoal canister to two Gatorade bottles with brass fittings and breather filters in them. I need to put some baffling in them or some ----.
Fook's basemap for now, tuning once I get a few parts and do some reading.

The car runs like stink and smells like it too with the couple exhaust leaks and warped flanges and having 2 bolts in my 3 bolt flanges. I need some gaskets and bolts and ----. All work was done by myself including building the motor, charge pipes, exhaust with the help of a 14" chop saw, my $100 craftsman flux core mig, and a grinder.
Pics are coming as soon as I can get ahold of a camera. Future upgrades? Evo turbo or some SCM turbo, I think I'll keep with the dsm flange and HF mani setup.

Will do... I'll need a 2.5bar or 3bar map sensor soon, I'm pushing 10-11psi on this basemap rich as hell (under 10.18 according to JAW) and no detonation on 93 octane (using my det can I checked low end of 5th down low transition from vac to boost and top end 2nd). The car rips, I love it. I need to take my thermostat out next. The temp gauge jumps up and down, never in the red though, while cruising. Staying out of boost is a piece of cake too. <3 for boosted d

I've been told take the thermostat out numerous times. The temp gauge in the cluster doesn't get into the red ever, it just bounces up and down. Sometimes it climbs slowly then drops fast. Other times the opposite happens. Sometimes it goes crazy even while just idling in traffic. My only idea is the thermostat sticking. Anyone else have an idea of what's happening?

If a bunch of us tell you to kill yourself will you?

If your thermostat is sticking replace it, don't remove it altogether.
