Wow haven't done an update in quite a while.
Not a lot has changed, been so busy trying to get settled in to my new place that the car has been put on the back burner. needles to say that dosent mean the car has been happy with that decision.
a couple days after moving into my new place i noticed a bad exhaust leak, no boost and a overall lose of all power. popped the hood and found my manifold was on its last runner getting ready to let lose.
Manged to weld it up and it has been doing fine since then, not having a flex pipe anywhere on the exhaust probably isn't helping much. Before it started to crack i had to tighten the bolts holding the turbo to the mani at least twice a month, since i have only had to do it once after a long drive.
Shortly after that on another long drive back from the beach the headgasket let go on me. lucky i made it home before any real damage could be done. couple days went by waiting for parts and it was finally time to set back to work. got the car up to the shop and set off to work.
So dirty! not good at all, with the s*** gas and blown turbo, the inside looked pretty dirty. on the bright side it all cleaned up nicely and the head was in amazing shape. (changing the oil every 2k miles dose help i guess) went ahead and did a full gasket change on pretty much everything for the top end.
And that's pretty much how she sits right now. just been dding her for the past couple weeks with little to no problems. I picked up a new t-28 to replace the junked up t25 that's on there and also picked up a safcII and a e-boost controller so i can finally make some more power!
