Leak down test results?

Did you remember to put all the bolts back in on the front cover side?

March of 2013 was the last time the front cover was off. Anything more than 50% throttle it looks like seafoam smoke with a blue oil tint. Haven't done any tests yet.

well I have thought about it and I think Im going to sell my TVS to go back to a M62 and 42# injectors for a good mpg daily in the winter. Unfortunately I gave away my M62 to a buddy for a build! Might have to trade someone for theirs + cash. not even sure what its worth honestly.... probably the 1200s as well if anyone is interested. still in the thinking process. No firm plans yet.

Well I would prefer to keep the M5 summer use only... and only one gas station around here (20 min away) has E85. And if Im not going to stay on E85 then im wasting the potential of the TVS. Still thinking.. Either this or sell it. Or part out and sell.. I dont know.

Those turbos are massive for their wheel size.
Advise from experience; make 110% sure that stupid ass snap ring is fully seated on the compressor cover.
