Yeah, after I do the reroute of the PCV and all that. Today was just playing around with the wastegate and keeping an eye on the A/F as I increased boost ... still a little rich ... MUCH more power to be had by keep the boost sub 16 psi and just dialing in the A/F and timing.

wow just wow. i love watching this thread. i am tryin to figure out how much i am going to need to save for my build. i might just have to give the army 6 more years of my service for the phat bonus to pick up a turbo system from nautilus and add the trevor tweaks to it.

Sorry all ... no video today. It was chilly outside and I didn't want to mess with the car today, so I stayed in the garage and worked on Wadespencer's heads. I have decided NOT to drive the car anymore until I have made the modifications ot the PCV system and figured out a good plan for dealing with my overheating problem.

Yeah, good thinking, I'd hate to see anything bad happen after all your hard work.

VERY IMPRESSIVE i wish i made it that far.

i did redo my pcv system. i just plumbed both off of the valve covers back into the intake stream before the turbo. it showed hardly any oil after about a week, didnt bother putting in a catch can. it was on my to do list. i cant wait to see what it dyno's at 22+ lbs. that turbo you got there will be awesome at 28 lbs with some race gas!!!!
