i really hope that previous post about not being impressed was a joke...jonny congrats man, i saw your post on ls1tech, your driver side turbos leaking? are you sure its the seal? check everything, make sure its not somethin simple, or somethin worse, its gunnna suck if you gotta send that out for a rebuild...good luck man, and the car is incredible!

thanks everyone, ran into a few bugs i still need to fix, drivers side turbo is still leaking a bit, need to address that (hopefully it doesnt need to be rebuilt already like said above) Want to make sure the car is 100% before i send it out for the tune. Thanks for all the nice comments again, really appreciate it after all the time and hard work spent on it. As for knowledge and money, Jeff hit it spot on. I have spent countless hours on ls1tech and have well over 2000 posts there mostly all informative asking questions and such. I also have a really nice job at the country club and don't waste away my money like most other teenagers do. Also i havent really dumped a whole lot of money into my car prior to this so it was just saving. Thanks again and i'll keep you all posted with updates!

lol, quick update. I was planning on taking the car to the dyno last Thurs, however when finishing it up Tues when i took the pics, i found my one turbo still leaking, and when we test drove it... got a misfire on Cyl #7 real bad. So i had to cancel Thurs and work out my bugs. Well tonight i found the miss due to a bad injector on #7. And i am pretty sure i have my leak figured out.... way the drain line is routed.... however, it barely leaks and shouldnt be too big of a temporary issue. Drove the car around tonight again and it ran well, wasnt missing, everything checked out good. Had the charge pipe off and filter back on so i got to give it a little more gas this time, still nothing major but boy do these guys whistle! Dyno this week.... i promise! haha.

Just wait 'til you womp it and hear the BOV from gear to gear... it's pretty BAMF.

I dont know how you have your wastegates setup either, but mine when you stand on it, it dumps the wastegate and sounds like a cutout. Yours may be dumped back into the downpipes though..

[Superman09]

mine are vented. I had the charge pipe off last night when driving so i could get into it a bit and i'm sure i made them make some boost, just wouldnt blow off because the BOV is on the charge pipe, the whistle is loud though when you get into it a little. I cant wait to have it up and running tuned.

Went for a drive today. Was such nice weather for a drive too! Made the car the dirtiest its ever been! Will need a bath ASAP! Heres some pics of the drive, messy car after drive, and saluting Mr Gibralter of course. I believe this will be a deciding factor in calling my car a "true street car" haha.

[kammi10]

umm why was this out in this nasty ass weather?

[JAdair]

I was going to ask the same thing lol
