Ignorance bit me again. Valvoline put a quart too much oil in at the last change and I didn't know that being a little too full is very bad on turbo cars.
Swifty coated DB's dyno with coolant and very late last night my car covered it and my engine bay in oil.
FML. Only got one pull in...said it did 350 at wastegate (21-22psi).
Sounds right for power, i checked my thread and i hit 355 at 20psi, checked my "twitter" feed in my thread, lol, when i was posting all the results.
Damn it, i wanna see what this makes.

Yep, the condescending comments lately are getting old. This is MistuStyle, not NABR.
+1 keep it above the belt guys, maybe a little higher.

So did the dipstick just blow out, and that is what covered things in oil? Blowing out a dipstick on these cars isn't the most uncommon thing ever.

Yea, it blew the dipstick and then a geyser of oil shot out. Kinda like a 4G63, but instead of a little spray, it was a fountain.
