Okay, I haven't updated in a long time, there are some pics though.

Only real worth while info, she has been handling my daily commute through rush hour day in and day out with an average of 22.766 miles per gallon. Which is AWESOME IMO for stop and go traffic, 13T turbos and 550cc injectors. The new taller 5th gear has made a world of difference, I haven't tested mileage on a long highway trip yet, I'm hoping for 30+.

I have realized that I've not updated this thread in a long time, reason being, well, there is not a lot to tell. Ideally I want to update with a good dyno number, but as my car is still not near where I want her to be prior to dynoing I don't have a fun update like that.

Basically, the big update is that she is a reliable daily driver that takes me to and from work in rush hour traffic every day. .. maybe that is a good update.

What has happened since last update:

CRAZY SNOW IN DALLAS!!!

3/03:
I learned what the car feels like when the rear turbo intake pipe pops off.
Hesitation at 2K RPMs

3/30:
DFW meet, where Devilmanvisa and Grayhaze fixed my vacuum lines that I had so backwards I was effectively trying to blow up my engine, thankfully I failed.

4/26:
I fixed a nice melting fuse issue.

In line fuse melting (stand alone fan controller / Fuel Pump Hot Wire)

How were your vacuum lines backwards? Don't they only go one way?

I want to make sure I didn't miss something. Maybe I've done the same thing!

I used the Profec B manual as my vacuum guide, and well, never messing with turbos prior to this I didn't know I was doing it ass backwards. haha

I doubt you have, it is a night and day difference in boost and spool time with them the right way. I can draw up a diagram if you'd like though.
