It was running today, and very well indeed...Only, the damned rack and pinion was leaking badly...Go figure...
I do not understand that one because it was not leaking at all a year and a half ago...But who knows...one of those two previous loser shops must have damaged it. I am having it rebuilt. So, another day or two to actually get the car....I am going over tomorrow to film it running with boost.....
Once the rack is done, I wil drive it away.

Well, at least 99% of the car will be new or rebuild when it is finished

Gang: I was at XtremeBoost yesterday afternoon...They had the car running well, but the BOV continued to open during idle...This is not good, so we finally decided to go with a different BOV...HKS instead...YOu should see the air filters...Unbelieveable. I will post pics...Car sounds incredibly mean when acclerated, idle is virtually silent....
Here are a few pics of the badges ploished, but not yet painted.
