Anyways, got Cody's turbo on and got it on 17lbs. Yesterday was my day off and it was 63* so I got to have some fun and put some miles on it. Got just over 200 miles now. On 17lbs it should be right at or just above 400whp (this is a guesstimate). Also got my first "race" in. Nothing exciting, just an overly confident RX8 owner that had just bought it and wanted to test it out. You can about imagine how that went. He actually raced one of my friend's first, but then made his way up to me since I was out ahead making sure we were clear, and he insisted, so I gave him what he wanted

I think at the end of it he was still trying to figure out what was true and what we were trolling him on

(thought it would run better with a pan-vac setup...

Yep haha but not for long!
Damn straight!
I sold the 1000's to Trevor, he was the one that called dibs before you lol. So I have his old 80's in there for now.
Its running so well! Makes me happy.
I've been down the road of improperly functioning PCV setups and I'm done with that lol. It's not all about evacuation, even with a big turbo setup. Allowing fresh air to ciurculate through how it does from factory is the most important part of our PCV system, especially for a street driven car. Don't want to end up like my friend's Buscher 2.3 in his Evo when he thought it was all about the evac. Luckily he caught it in time before he ruined that motor. The oil was fuel contaminated and all the stagnant gasses that were in the case under normal driving conditions made his oil sludge up so bad that we had to scrape about 2 quarts of it out of the pan. It was scary. He thought as long as he had ventilation for case evac during WOT that he was fine.

Well 9 hours ago it was in 40's and I was doing pulls, and now its snowing and cold....dumb! Tomorrow is supposed to be back in the mid-high 40's so hopefully we don't get too much snow today. I hate this **** lol
I'm so nervous about my turbo. Any update to what BW is gonna do/say? Mine better work. Stressing me out. I'll know in about three weeks. If it was anything like my last turbo (s259 batmowheel), they dicked me around big time. Wasn't happy.
