Is this car a 2.3 or 2.4? I can't remember.

Regardless, very nice spool for such a beast turbo.

Thanks guys. Yea its spooling very good for the size of it, the 2.3 helps. I'm very impressed with the response. I looked at the log a little closer and saw that I need to get more fuel to the rail. The injector duty at 6700 RPM was 88% on the 2150's. I highly doubt that it is using that much fuel. This was with E75 in the tank. I ordered – 8 for the supply. I also need to perform the high pressure mod to the walbros too. This should fix the fuel supply problem.

I'm going to dyno this thing at MAP hopefully March 13th!

I noticed that I had a small pool of fluid under my car. And confirmed it was transmission fluid. I checked around and determined that it was coming from an area where a steel ball is pressed in a passage to seal it up.

I contacted Jacks and the culprit was shipping damage. I didn’t want to pull the transmission out to fix it, so I had a good discussion with Jack and determined that I could TIG weld it while it was in the car. I removed the bearing and lathed up an aluminum piece to fill the gap. I welded it and no leak anymore!

I don't have a post weld pic but it turned out good. What a pain in the ass, at least I didn’t need to remove the transmission!

This thread reinforces why I want a lathe/mill/welder/etc whenever I land somewhere permenantly and have my own place.

Badass! I wish my diff-pin fix was that easy :(
