guys... and about returning the oil.. I saw that Exotic performance returned it on the driver side of the oil pan at the front... but what about somewhere near this sensor in the oil pan? like to the left or right of it? on my driver side the headers and what not are so close don't want to put it on that side

The problem with the location is it should be above oil level. The place where we put the bung was perfect since it was between two ribs in the pan.

If you dont want to drop the pan, you could also do it in the timing cover to save the hassle of dropping the K member.

Dude, you have absolutely no idea... its freakin sweet. Wrapping the exhaust also makes a HUGE difference..and I haven't even finished wrapping it either. I wrapped from the back up and I'm only at the meeting of the y-pipe to the I pipe.. then again thats where most of the heat is already lost...so its holding more heat in... I mean boost had to have picked up at least by 100-200rpm easy. its crazy.
going to go to 7psi with IC and/or meth injection ASA i get my rearend

you tap out the 'thing' (lol) above the oil filter for the feed line...run the line all the way back to the turbo on the top... then the bottom of the turbo line runs to the STS oil pump then to the front of the car, yes, from the back of the car to the front; and up to the oil cap. and yes you can route it different places/ways as EPP (exotic performance plus, thanks to Bob and Jake) has done

is yours a .81 exhaust? what compress? when do you see full boost now?

Ive got a .81exhaust/.70 comp T60. TRT made 550/660 with it before I got it. Hopefully I can duplicate those results and not have to step up to a T67.

I recommend calling EPP and talking to Bob or Jake. Lots of experience with 9" rear ends.
