So back on the dyno or just drive it?

It definitely needs to go back on the dyno. It's still pretty much untuned. Even if it doesn't do what I want I would still rather play it safe than sorry

Motor runs good time for boost!!

Boost will come as soon as I can afford to get it back on the dyno!

Alrighty so I already have a new axle and I ordered control arm bushings that should be here wednesday. So I will replace those parts wednesday at my work and just check the car over again. Then it's just putting some miles on it and making sure all is good to go.

Tentatively I'm trying to get a tune scheduled for the 15th or 16th so we'll see what happens. Otherwise they're booked out till like the 28th :-/

Alrighty round 4 on the dyno is set for the 16th. Hopefully some of this luck I've had recently will continue on!

Sometimes you get a little lucky with these cars! Good luck on the tuning, did you get your fuel issue all sorted out?

Yes sir I did get the fuel issues figured out. It was one of the rubber lines in the tank had ruptured. Last time it was on the dyno we seemed to get all the bugs sorted out and were finally able to get to the actual tuning

Well with the exception of losing my hood today was a relatively successful day. I replaced the control arm bushings, drained the oil, then hooked up our engine flush machine and flushed the sucker out so if there was any metal in any of the oil galleys there shouldn't be any more. I changed the oil filter, changed the inline filter for the turbo oil feed.

I put new plugs in it, shortened the coil boots, put bolts in places that were missing bolts, (fenders, t-case, flywheel inspection cover, etc) and just cleaned up as much stuff as I could.

Also I removed the rear crash bumper should be about 32lbs removed from the car. Which will bring my total weight savings since the got the car to around 47lbs.
