Well I guess I'll throw a few zip ties on later this week when I continue making ducting for my FMIC. Thank you

@Kwambe Wright , thank you for that information. I've already gone through the headache of installation with a vacuum cap. Sounds like I should get back in there and throw some zip ties on it in the hopes that it stays on there.

@Mauro_Penguin you're totally fine dude, I was actually able to figure out the problem. I also noticed that while tightening down each of the bolts the drain tube did do a lot of moving around and flexing, effectively putting unnecessary strain on that flex section of the tube. I think I'm...

@mangosmoothie , are you able to elaborate a little more on what port was leaking? I just finished up my CTS4 install a few weeks ago

The one piece version on my GenJuan is absolutely amazing and has been well used

Yes, the 2 bolts for the turbo are smaller in length than the bolts going into the block. I've made sure not to mix them up each time I reinstalled it. I pulled the gaskets out again last night to see if there was any damage done to them as suggested by Easter Bunny and to check if they looked...

I did a little bit of digging after work last night, and figure out that the upper and lower gaskets have 2 different part numbers. I haven't been able to find substantial evidence that these 2 gaskets are differently sized in some way or another. I ended up riding to work today so I can work on...

I removed the gasket remanence from the drain tube last night, it should be noted that the left over gasket could probably have fit inside the space in the O on a keyboard. I did not thoroughly inspect the new gasket before reinstallation. I did though wipe the excess oil off of it, and from...

I reused the OEM oil drain line as I was sort of assuming that it'd be fine in this case. I installed the turbo last weekend (6/18 - 6/19), found the leak this weekend (6/25 - 6/26). Based on my best knowledge it's definitely leaking from the turbo side (and yes I know oil does weird things...

Oh my, you are super lucky. I took my 10 minutes to figure out how that whole pivot shaft assembly went back together when I was doing mine a few months ago.

Not to throw this thread off or anything, but Tool is really good. On another note, I had to do my wheel bearing too and it went off w/ out a hitch, other than we forgot something and had to pull the new one out and it came completely apart so we had to go buy another wheel bearing. Also the...

I'm sorry to hear that man. The camry sounds sick af though

You might also want to do a little more research about spark plug gap, or someone can chime in about that.

You're going to want to take the spark plugs out, but not before you go back to O'Reilys and get yourself some sort of spark plug measuring device (Spark Plug Gap Tool). They come in a few different forms, maybe do a quick little google search so you have an idea of what you are hunting for when...

Ya that sort of adds up

ah, thank you for the correction. That makes a little more sense. Did anything ever come of the CTSV brake endevours?

I know our calipers say FordMotoCo on the backs of them, but if my memory serves me correctly, there was a large thread on the old forums about using Volvo brakes or something. It might have been about efforts to get CTSV brakes to work I'm not entirely sure. If it was me I'd be making moves...

On regards to E-Tuning, I'm sitting at 181k miles on a stock motor with a highflow cat and all the proper supporting mods. I'm currently tuned by Freektune and I really haven't had any complaints what so ever. The car's been running strong and true 1 year later.

While on my commute to work a week ago (6/21), I came to a stop at a stop light and watched as I slight mist of blue/white smoke started to catch up too me. After parking the car in a spot at work I let it idle for a bit and got no repeat situation, not even a hint of smoke. That night after...
