Glad to see the magic blue hose seems to be working!

It was good to get a ride on Sunday, your car fucking rips all the way to red line! It will be fun to see what happens once you stoke the fire :D

What is the magic blue hose for? No idea what that port was originally used for, a PCV perhaps?
Glad to hear it's running better though!

LOL, I don't think that would be very fair lol. He has a bigger turbo, E98, lighter car and more displacement and DR's. I'd for sure do a fun run when I get it where i want it.

Soon, hopefully tomorrow see below.

That port is now open with my new catch can setup, if you look at the new black braided hose coming off the AN fitting on the valve cover right above it, there was a line from there to the blue hose part, so yes PCV.

Update:

Pulled fuel pump assembly, god i hate squishing back there (especially since i tweaked my back yesterday somehow working at the evo noob mod day, I was in serious pain lol but want this thing working), it looks pretty good, no visible leaks. I was by myself and its late so I am waiting tomorrow to put it together. Jon says if I prime the fuel line and no leaks, its time for the mas boosters! So tomorrow i will have a buddy or my brother turn the key while i watch it with it semi out the tank.

Hopefully tomorrow I get to try something besides wastegate pressure :)

looking good! I would just say if you have the sending unit out just pick up some submersible fuel line and replace the rubber lines in the tank and be done with it.

Can't wait to hear your results!

The submersible e85 line is expensive and not all stores have it in stock. Not to mention it is not very bendable. The stuff I have is plastic line supposedly rated to 100psi and e85 submersible and can flex. I dont' want to replace unless I have to. If I have to I will put in the big shit though.

yeah it was not very flexible and it cost me like $35 for just enough to make the two short hoses in the tank lol. But if you have plastic lines you're probably fine.

Update:

Got the fuel assembly pulled. PUshed on the line and looked for leaks/cracks etc, nothing, looked good.

Had to wait until tonight for my brother to help out and turn the key while I watched, but you can see here, looks all good.

The only thing bubbling in there is the return pressure I think.

So I buttoned it all up and hopefully weather doesn't get too bad over the next few days so we can try some more boost!

Also few more parts came....

New bigger battery just because lol...my small battery still seems perfect, not sure why it was acting up at MAP on the dyno. But I spent 200 on this one so I am going to use it. Also my backordered fog deletes finally came in, time for more awesome looking grill!

Started to tire out now too...ugh, need to keep pushing on, have lots of little shit to do including tuning!

I could switch back to my Volks/RS3s, but, that would just be more dangerous for both of us since I spin them so bad.
