soso day...
first qual....got reasonable boost on the launch which resulted in a 1.40 60'. went 5.30 @ 145 @ 25 psi
2nd qual....dialued more rpm on the two step, but when I was bumping in the prestage, I went too far and lit both bulbs and ended up with too little boost. Should've just sat on the line
Resulted in a 1.55 60' and a 5.5x @ 148.... @ 28 psi.
1st round. the little screws that hold the scavenge pump to the bracket either broke or backed out (POS design) and the pump fell to the ground in the burnout box. Got shut off
I had added about 5 more psi of boost for that pass....should've hauled a$$ 
Oh well....got some changes to make the next few days and will do some testing later this week

-10 drain from turbo into a ~2qt tank I fabbed up. Run a -6 line from the top of the tank to my vacuum pump "puke" tank for venting. -10 line from bottom of tank to Turbowerx EXA pump. Run -10 from the pump to the side of my oil pan (above oil level). Hard to see, but pump is mounted just right of the turbo (behind the pull point in the center)
