Re: 97 gsx build

Finished putting her together yesterday. Fp2 272's, 3g lifters, link, new mhi 20g, pr wg setup, afpr, springs & struts, timing belt, gsx wheels, thermal r&d turbo back, bm 1650cc injectors, fp intake, and some more goodies. Plasti dipped the trunk because paint was faded.

This is how she looked when I picked her up last Friday:

I will take some updated engine pics when I get home. It is having trouble holding boost when I blt it. The compressor is set to 28 psi and when I blt it the boost gauge only reads 2 psi. I spent 3 hours fixing small boost leaks but nothing major and the boost gauge still reads 2psi. It's at 30* past tdc. For some reason a ton of air is exiting the exhaust during the test. After doing some reading I am going to go check the pcv, egr, and leak down test it after I get off work. Anyone else experience this problem?
