Check it out
First start up
Fuel spewing out the exhaust
and the excess oil on the down pipe was burning off
and the HKS SSQV wasnt hooked up.
Pretty cool though

Thanks!
Well today I spent about 6-7 hours pulling the the manifold, turbo and wastegate. I attached vac lines for my Tru-Boost.
I removed both the oil return and oil feed flanges, cleaned them and put permatex black gasket maker. Put everything back together, raised my intercooler up about an inch. Put header wrap in a few key places.
Car started up just fine once again... Unfortunately the leaking started but it wasn't anywhere as bad as before.
From what I can see it looks like the leak is coming from the bolt closest to the engine and it looks like some is coming from the fitting that goes into the flange... I may have tightened the fitting down too much OR that bolt needs to be tigtened down some more. I left it for now, i wont have any wrench time until friday.
I also ordered a new 90 degree reducing coupler. YAY! Its gonna make fitting that pipe to the compresser so much easier.
So I should be up and boosting again by the weekend.
