so after a lot of wait and gathering of parts... that car is Boosted. dyno sheet will be up when i can scan it. but it did 160 to the wheels on 5lbs. had to stop before it kept going higher due to Boost creeping. :-\ but ill have pics up and dyno soon!!
feels great thanks for all the help everyone who has given me advice and parts along the way!! -Allen and now my next step is to restore those blue radiator hoses and stuff to black. blue looks so .... yea. haha This post has been edited by d0w0rkS0n: Apr 2, 2009 - 11:25 AM -------------------- |

so wow.... oil leak out of my spark plug grommets??
popped my hood, and oil was all over my valve cover, pulled out my first spark plug to see the tube was filled with oil... back before the turbo.. i had decided to redo my seals. and the store only had 3 grommets in stock. so i replaced all but one. turns out, thats the one thats leaking. pulled the valve cover off, replaced the grommet and put some sealant around the outside of it. hope that fixes the problem -------------------- |

Have you left the crankcase ventilation untouched? This would pressurize the crankcase under boost and your grommets and gaskets would start to leak. |
