I either didn't use enough sealant on the L fitting that goes into the feed flange OR I didn't tighten a bolt down all the way.
The oil return is perfectly fine now.

I'll let you know how the tranny holds up.
Got a bit done today. Raised up the intercooler and all the piping so it doesnt scrape at all. I accidentally moved it so its a little off center. Ill probably fix it tomorrow.
Installed the tru-boost and it works great. Still need that damned coupler so I can check to see if its working properly.
The engine bay needs a SERIOUS cleaning up. I'll probably tackle that either sunday or monday.

If I can't boost past that or run into issues i may just switch over to OBDII since we have a maf and ECU laying around. I could always just go standalone too.
I would get another flange for your bov and weld it on a 3" pipe instead of the 3" to 2.5" and back to 3".

Ok I finally I got the fronts done. They are MUCH harder than the rears I have to say... The only other problem with this kit as far as not providing enough hog rings is the locations of the rods and the length of the thing that holds the rods.
The length is extremely important for the fronts so you can actually get them to clamp.
I left my front centers untouched for now. But I will have some new rod holders thingys made and install them one day when im bored. For now i'm happy with the results and when you look at the comparison shot, you'll see why... lol

Seats looks great! Where did you order them from?

Thanks. The leathers came from a seller on ebay "leatherseat" I believe.
Just do a search for "SC300 leather"
As I mentioned in my other post, the only issue with these are the rod pouches for the front seats aren't deep enough which is why the front is little more "loose" looking.

I cut that out. LOL. I'm thinking about cutting that bottom bar and lowering it to match the rest of the bumper to... If you look closely it dips down on both sides, so if I were to cut the middle out and move it down it would line up. It looks good in my head...

I finally got the coupler I needed in the mail today! I ran outside and tossed it in. I secured all the clamps and hit the road. i kept the car under 3k and just went around driving around for a few minutes.
Boost rocks! I only hit about 3.10 psi just driving around. After I clean up the engine bay and finish heat wrapping stuff I'm gonna take it out on the highway.
I'm now waiting on my meth kit and boost juice to get here before we tune it.
