Ok now I am shooting for having it tuned on Thursday. I just dropped it off with my exhaust guy tonight after work, so that is one thing to check off of the list. I have an oil leak that is either coming from the turbo drain line, or the oil pan gasket. Im leaning towards the gasket cause I have already changed the fitting out on the drain line once. I picked up a new gasket today, and when I get it back tomorrow I will knock that out. Still need to throw the new pillar pod in and put the gauges back in. Right now they are ghetto rigged on the top of the dash with some tape. I also need to change out the head unit to the Eboost cause the one that I have in there right now is apparently bad. Other than that with a little luck I will be ripping it up later this week.

Ok I think I can finally see the light at the end of the Dark Dark turbo tunnel! I got the exhaust on it tonight, and it is really quiet. I like it. The welded on aluminum fitting on the oil pan, and a small tear in the oil pan gasket were the culprits of the oil leak. Welded in a new fitting and put on a new gasket. No Leaks! It also seems to be running better than it did with it only having the open down pipe. I am leaving for San Antonio on wednesday night after I get off of work. Then It is time to tune. I still need to get the gauges in the new pillar pod, and plug in the new eboost head unit. I will hit that in the morning.

My turck was much happier after it had an exhaust system on it too. I know maximum flow is important but, i think you can have too much flow too...

Good luck with the tuning! I need to get to the dyno myself soon, i am going crazy wondering how much power she making now @ 10lbs of boost. Last night on some slightly wet roads it kept breaking all for tires loose from a slow roll! That to me is impressive considering the weight of my 33x13.50R18's!

I just got back from San Antonio. It is tuned and all is well. It pulls like a freight train when the boost comes on and has little to no lag. I havent made it to the dyno yet, but will try to hit it up here pretty soon.
