The turbo is healthy. Same BW257sxe from previous engines. It probably only has 6k or less miles on it. I have 21psi of spring pressure in the Tial EWG. "Fire ring" in place. Sent from tapioca

Just sent Rev. D logs to tuna. Feels neat for sure, but Will says i should be building more boost pressure. This is the same issue i had last time (previous engine) when we pulled it off the dyno after 1 pull. I do not think it's a boost leak as i recently fixed the leak i discovered. What do...

Ahh much better. I smoke leak tested and found nothing. I boost leak tested and found the hose from my brake booster leaking. Replaced the clamp and it held pressure fine at 32psi. I removed the spark plugs and they definitely needed to be replaced. Gapped the new plugs to .020 and stretched my...

Onto the 2nd revision on E48. Car is breaking up pretty bad. These logs were supposed to be 3-7k and i backed off since shit didn't feel right. Tuna thinks ignition related or possible vacuum leak. I suspect i may have fake NGK plugs. They looked great though when i pulled them recently to do a...

Base map logs sent. 2 maf cal, 2 wot @3-5k, idle log. Let's do this. We're also going to discuss our live tuning session. We're going to street tune it until we can finish up on the dyno. Sent from tapioca

You guys should see how I make my donut holes Sent from tapioca

The first gasket installed when I built the engine looked mangled and ripped up when I removed it. However, it wasn't leaking like this 2nd one is. I attribute it to the metal spacers part of the AP performance hardware not fitting completely in the holes of the gasket. I know I applied rtv at...

It's definitely more than a splatter. Plenty of Smurf juice running down the front of the transmission. I can feel puffs of air right from where it's seeping out of the VC. Oh well, I ordered another gasket for now. Sent from tapioca

Well...I drove it to work today and saw a little trail of oil. Popped the hood and it appears it's coming from the corner of the VC. I really doubt i rolled the gasket or its pinched. I'll have to go back in there and try again. Sheesh Sent from tapioca

Got the valve cover off and replaced the VVT solenoid. Everything with the valvetrain looked good and BLUE lol. I highly recommend the new CS valve cover hardware. It keeps the gasket in place and works just like the oem hardware. I previously had AP hardware and I'm sure that was the cause of...

Got that glorious trib 5w40 in and checked the compression today. I measured 181, 185, 187, 184. The spark plugs looked mint as well. I finally drove the piss out of it today for the first time really. I gave it my all and good lord I missed this. Just the base map alone had me shaking lol...

Quick little update. I replaced my HPRV after some odd KOEO testing I noticed multiple times. It seemed to have corrected the intermittent rattle I would hear from the "valve cover" area. I also found marks on the firewall from the exhaust manifold vband clamp making contact. I shortened the...

It honestly scared the shit out of me. The EWG was singing. I think the most i've ever felt in this car throughout owning it was 34psi. At least it didn't blow up.

So I'm about to roll over the 400mi mark and everything is cherry with the motor. Oil pressure is solid and consistent with the ford oil pump. Zero leaks except a slow seep from my turbo drain gasket (block side). The only thing that concerns me is a intermittent valvetrain noise. It doesn't...

I successfully defeated the srs airbag light. 2.4ohm resistor wired into the yellow airbag connector under the seat. You also have to drill out the rivets and remove the seat track sensor from the stock seat. I'm sure you dont have to cut off the yellow connector like I did but meh. The seat...

Little tiny update. Finally got the CS oil pressure gauge working correctly. I set the alarm point at 15psi for now. I also moved my ethanol gauge for a cleaner look. The Sparco r333 seat is in. Along with it's sliders and Planted seat bracket. I ended up returning the 1st broken one and they...

Well I just tested if it's factory car alarm I have and it's not. I left the window rolled down and locked the car. Placed the key a good distance away and attempted to unlock the door while opening. It didn't even go off. It could still work off the door latch trigger wire though I think...
