agree the turbo is sitting pretty darn low. you should have it almost touching the heat shield. I would redo that part of the install. Looks like you need to cut the exhaust pipe and clock the whole thing and get it tucked up.

how many psi? I take it you got the oil pump working right and your not leaking oil from the turbo anymore?

get that thing tuned and please let someone who knows how to use a eboost get that thing dialed in. you can get into alot of trouble quick on a stock tune with a eboost.

does this mean your not mad anymore? retracking that I sold you a pile of **** and hooking me up with feedback on a 3k plus deal would be great.

I'm glad everything got worked out. if you haven't found the manual for the boost controller I found the file on my old laptop. pm me your email and I will send it over, and as I said before if you have any problems please call and I will help any way I can.

happy boosting

Well i had quite the scare today.. I was driving to the store. with some friends. and the oil return line. came off the was spitting oil on the manifold. i guess i didnt tighten down the cap... idk.. and i noticed the oil pressure drop (like 3psi) I find myself worrying about the smallest noices these days. Anyway... I pulled over and smoke started pouring out of the cracks in the hood. I was so scared. So i opened it and found the damn oil return line just hanging there... Damn... I guess i need to stick it in the oil pan.

well i started my my valve springs sat night.. problems problems and more problems
s

so i went and finished them today. got to the last spring and one of the retainers was fucked up. it wasnt fully machined. so i couldnt use it...

so i put the stock one on, for now... and started it up and it cranked really slow but then started really quick and then idled at like 500 and didnt sound great... (broke one spark plug wire) and the valves were really noisy. so i shut it off. YELLED:#(&@!!!!! and then pulled the right side(where the noise was coming from apart and found 4 rockers really loose...(torqued to 22 but still moving... so i pulled them off, and out them back on and they seemed all good.. 22ft/lbs and they were nice and tight... so i bolted it all back together and started it... the valves were alot quieter and it sounded OK... so i let it run for a little bit and was gonna switch spots...go under a light(11:00PM-DARK) so i put her in gear and reved it up a little bit and there was this squeaky noise! I am so pissed and have no idea WTF is going on. so i shut it off and locked her up for the night!!! im suppose to get tuned on wednesday morning. this ruins my week. (on top of plenty more ****)!!!

whats happening?




Getting some help in the internals section too

Tear... car took a **** today.

Umm. idk what happened.

I was driving... heard a "ting" and the car stalled... pulled over...

Now i have to delay my tuning... What happened? How bad is it?

Black_Hawk_02

iTrader: (2)

Still had to cancel my tuning with Mike Norris for tomorrow.

God dam pro 5.0 nut came loose that was it! They could not find anything wrong with my six speed after I tore it all apart so after I had it forge put it back in and bam was doing the same thing untill I look at the fkin shifter adjustment bolt was back all the way out!

How clean is the maf? Oh and get rid of it buy a cobalt map ad speed density and you will love it even better. I was against it for awhile and I got fed up with cleaning that stupid maf and never look back. Car drives like stock minus the cam lope and turbo whine
