well, got to drive 'round the neighbor hood. car ran good, albeit a lil lean under boost.. which i didnt hit much because i was taking it easy.Sorted all my 'why it wont run' problems. now i just have the 'make it run better' issues

I blew off another pipe at like 5 lbs cause i hit some sand and spun tire... limped it home after that.

Real annoying thing though, my oil line is leaking at the turbo i think, its got a drip going.

Also, my dipstick popped up... annoying!I need a better manifold... its so hard to get to anything with the stocker there! next week or two ill get a tubey one, even though SS sucks, i need one cheap

lets see... other then those issues... it ran the best its run in a year me thinks.

Seriously just get some T-Bolt clamps, then you shouldnt blow couplers.

Blowing out your dipstick is not a good thing. You have to much crankcase pressure. Check the PVC system make sure nothing is clogged and free flowing. If all that is good your rings may be shot. Do a compression check

Good luck though. Things are coming along!!!
