Also, why did you have to retap your oil filter housing for the AN fittings? They make fittings that bolt right in

Lines came with the oil cooler. I only have one size AN fittings...it was easy to drill them out and tap them to M18.

dropped pan...bearings had no play in them. There fore i continue.

bought a new front turbo last night...should be here before the weekend. I rebuilt my rear turbo this weekend so the front one should go smoothly.

Got my oil cooler and lines all squared away. I wrapped the stainless braided lines in 3/4 inch plastic tubing to keep them from rubbing on other parts.

Intercoolers are mounted on both sides....thank god for my dremel and 20 cut off wheels...they turn to dust like instantly. Dont know how im gonna get a clamp on the cold side of the intercooler...maybe a universal and 1/4 ratchet wrench.

Almost ready to put rear turbo in...need pressure switch..also need to make stupid banjo bolts. Im not paying $13 a piece. I hope to get the rear turbo all done this weekend.

Hey guys...can I run a 93' TT ECU, 360's, tt fuel pump, and fpr with no SAFC at wastegate boost---6psi. At what point will i need the safc for tuning. I am going to have wideband and logger.

Forgot about this thread

Ok guys huge news i guess...i am still 10:1 and yesterday I got running 13psi...no knock...kind of rich but I still have to pull some fuel. It runs like a champ and pulls soooo hard at 13 psi...i spin the tires in 2nd up to like 50(sucks). I wonder when I will start seeing knock I am more worried about my tranny now. My stage 2 southbend clutch is holding up well. My Toyos...not so much. Anyone have suggestions on maybe wider stickier tires? I like going to the track so thats why I am worried about my tranny.

hey guys...just figured i would tell you that i have gone 7k miles boosted. I am running wastegate on a factory TT tune and fuel...no knock. I run high 13's with no traction. My tranny is still good and the motor pulls hard. I love it as my DD. I still get the same gas mileage as before...31 mpg baby.

I am in the process now LSD, flywheel, clutch, and tranny in the end will be around $3400
