    Oh don't worry it will be ready before then. I drove it for the first time today, the rest of the break in will take place on the dyno tommrow. Sorry fellas no spectors yet.

    Ill be posting results as they become available.


    I drove it for like 5 minutes behind the shop just to check everything and managed to get two tickets while doing it.

    I doubt you did anything stupid, since the tweaks aren't worked out, so what were they? Expired tags and no insurance?

    Expired tags and "NOXIOUS EMISSIONS" Which was oil that got spilled in the exhaust.

    He was a fucking ass hole.

    That really sucks...just a couple questions...how are you actually oiling the turbo? Also are you having to run a secondary water pump for coolant? My impression was that there were issues with mounting it lower than the engine and such...something about coolant or oil returns being an issue to go against gravity?

    Coolant isn't a problem, as for oil , if you look at the pics there is a tiny oilpan below the turbo, we use a tilton Diff pump to pull the oil out of the pan and back to the oil return.

    Ok, so you have a separate pump working the turbo oil supply then, gotcha.
