Alright! I'm happy to her running! Good call with either AEM or megasquirt. A few DSM guys have used megasquirt and have had great results.

Default Turbo kit, how much?

Nice! Just out of curiosity, how much does a turbo set up like that cost, after all is said and done?

ok, 3k, I am assuming this is just parts alone, with you installing? I would love to do something like this, but, I think this is above and beyond me. I would have to have it installed.

Default No More Oil Leaks!

Solved my oil leak problem.

My pump was a bit higher than the turbo and that seemed to be causing the issue.

So I lowered the pump a little bit and also switched from a -8 to -10 return hose:

I took her out for a drive this morning and had no oiling issues!!!

The glare in the video makes it impossible to see my wideband readings on the video, but you can at least see boost. Also you cant really hear the awesome sound my BOV makes =D

No tune yet so I took it easy on the acceleration. Anways here she is:
