Houston, we have boost
 

Yep, the hatch is boosted. I've been racing around the neighborhood all night. ;D The new motor runs ------- awesome. I didn't have a throttle body gasket so it's kinda weird on the takeoff, but it hauls ass. I'm guessing I'm running around 15psi? I dunno.....that's not important. :-X Normally I hate the loss of traction, but it feels pretty damn good right now. I've missed boost. :'(

I had a pretty nasty valve cover leak so oil spilled all over my nice and clean motor. Piece of ----....

The stock clutch sure doesn't hold up to well. If I try to jam it into second at WOT it just completely slips and I don't go anywhere. :-[ No BOV, no tuning, no worries. :P

I've got alot of mickey mouse ---- going on under the hood, but that can all be worked out later. It's running and that's all I care about. :)

Looks like the Doctor's been operating.

Nice stuff.

Oh and for the throttle body, Ive never used a gasket, always just a thin bead of silicone, never had problems.
