Yeah I got JETs car all back together yesterday, it started right up with no leaks. It was idling like shit (3300rpm) but I found a hose the didn't get hooked up after the head was put back on. Once I put that hose on it dropped down to about 1500 or so.

I took it out so I could get a few heat cycles on it before I retorque the head studs. It was still boost creeping a little bit but not as bad as before I don't think. At most I saw about 21lbs on the street at about 5500 rpms I am guessing. I didn't want to rev it all the way since I hadn't retorqued the headstuds yet.

We will see what happens on the dyno. I am going to let it go as far as 30lbs or so, if it creeps past that then something else has to be done to get the boost creep to go away.
