I have a really nice water to air setup if you like. GVR4 < DSM, what number is it and how many miles?

#1028, around 160k miles.

Turned it up to 15psi, lovely boost creep till it fuel cuts at 17. Had to crimp the dipstick tube to keep it from blowing oil ALL over the place, now it's isolated to the turbo/manifold area, good place to start a fire. I should keep some marshmallows and a stick handy for such an event.

Owned! Quoted for accuracy! :)

This happened at our dyno day two years ago at LSE. turbotalon1g showed up asking for a fire extinguisher!

Well, I guess this changes the course of the project. I will be swapping in the 4 bolt rear earlier than planned. The new plan is to build the drivetrain to handle around 450, then working on getting the engine to that point.

I was around 105 when it started to howl really bad. I figured a tire was starting to fail, then came the loud grinding, which convinced me to pull off. I thought maybe that nut in the tranny finally came off, or the yoke fell apart in the transfer case. I check under it and everything was clean (except the engine, just because it always leaks). Then I looked back and the entire differential was covered in oil. At the point I just said I'm not dealing with it tonight and had it hauled back to the shop.

thats too bad, but then again a nice 4 bolt would be great!
