Well they say its done and waiting for me . The downside is that I am in St Simons so I wont be able to pick it up till tommorrow after a 5 hour drive of course. But at least I have something to look forward too at the end of the trip.

You saw through me The car is running strong but I cant really get into it like I want to. It looks like I had messed up a cylinder ring a few months back and now I am getting some blow by that creatges a pretty smoky exhaust.
The boost comes on right around 2800-2900 rpm and runs up to 8psi. The car sounds like something from winston Cup races when you get into it. I know not everyone likest hat but I just love the deep rumble. When the turbo starts to spool you hear a really wicked hissing type of noise then the car just moves out.

Dude with all the smoke I would be to embarrased to let any one I know see me in it let alone the dealership, they would probably ask me to leave.

Smoke and blow by? Time for new rings..... Did u plumb it properly? You need to do something with the TB to block air from going to the crank.
