Finally got into it.

But did not last long. I switched out my map sensors and the car fired right up so I guess the map was bad or not on the correct setting for my tune. So anyways I decided to take it out and log it.

So I got on it, the tires let go, car was spooling, got to about 5lbs and then BOOOOOOMMMMMM.

My tire exploded. I was a little upset because it is a brand new tire. But was glad that it was not the motor. Felt great to finally get into it.

I am also showing an oil leak around the filter area, I think it is from the distributor block that I have the turbo oil lines tapped to. I will check that out on monday.

Damn, but like you said, at least it was just a tire.

It'll rock even better once you hit high boost, the more boost you make, the more exhaust energy comes out the pipe and spools the turbo quicker! >=)

Man, you scared me after all you've been through. I'm glad it was only a tire. I can only imagin how good it feels to finally put the pedal down. I'm hoping it will be soon for me as well.
