I could burn this POS to the ground....
Ive spent so much time and money on this thing and have no luck at all.. I have professionals handle like building the transmission and my longblock since im not familiar or comfortable with the internals. And first off after the dyno session the BUILT 4l80e loses reverse. So get it rebuilt. Notice it keeps losing coolant somewhere, but its not in the oil. Thats another issue im trying to figure out... But now THIS!!
300 miles on my car and well really only 1 true track pass on like 9 psi. The previous pass the car blew oil everywhere out my knock sensors.. so cleaned it,adjusted the tune since it was running really rich and did a full pass. After the pass oil pressure went down to 10psi at idle...
LQ4 Block 408
Mahle pistons
scat rods
eagle crank
317 heads with valve job
turbo cam
it goes on and on
with a bullseye s480r turbo
build here

The pass, just took off no boost at all. Then she took off.
Here is what i found
Thought id feel better by venting but I think im more pissed after reading this..

What is that bottom picture of? Sucks to hear the bad luck man. I can definitely relate with you. I just got done with 4 months of work on my car, and obviously thousands of dollars probably with this turbo build, and my car will not enter boost. Something spark related. Havent figured it out yet, but it was the biggest case of automotive blue ***** ever. You go out, the car starts to spool, and then RIGHT at 0psi, it stutters.
Hope you get a streak of good luck with yours!

Well this just cant be good...

Another thing i noticed how the oil looks very dirty
Here is what was going on with the knock sensor seal, it has a small tear in it and is bigger now from the tear so wasnt sealed
some more carnage near the knock sensor stud

If i was running a t4 setup i would, this just makes me sick. And to top it all off my engine builder blew me off all day.... So im pretty pissed right now. See if he wants to work with me a little and make this right. Built turbo engine with 300 miles running 9 psi shouldnt have these issues..
