600ish on 8-10lbs, 700ish on 15lbs (if it holds, if not, time to build a forged bottom end)

Well, found out Friday from my tuner that the turbo is not draining properly allowing oil to backup in the turbo causing oil to leak past the seal and into the downpipe. Just wanted to let the ones know that are in the process of building a lower front mount setup on a budget a scavenger pump is likely needed. Not too much $$ extra, but extra none the less.
The pump I chose is the 12VDC Version:TurboWerx Part # TWX-300-12V (About $450 to install and dial in). Having them install that along with a Turbonetics manual boost controller. Main reason I went with the top of the line version, the entry level pump will not be available for 10-15 days. I want this thing done, only cost additional $100 and is suppost to be much better.
Oh well, I was planning on having it all tuned and dyno'd tomarrow, but I want to make sure it's all good.
To be continued!!
