Ya the clutch grabs like 1mm off the floor lol. She is tight and gives me a work out haha. I am slowly breaking her in.
I just want to get this fitting so I can plan my build date. I hate waiting on a part that was less than 30 bucks

I really have no idea, i want good power but really don't have the money to rebuild it if i blow it up right now, so i'd imagine i will stay on the conservative side until i get the parts for the rebuild in hand.
Now, i went big on my stuff for a reason, MORE POWER,lol... but i dont think i will make huge numbers initially. At this point, get it together and ill be happy.
With a good tune you should make 250 no problem, how much boost you planning on running?

got my fittings intoday so I now believe I 100% of the parts except my tune. I hand screwed the fittings together but they only thread so far in. I know there is much more I can thread it but it is really tight. I only finger tightened them.
any suggestions
here are some pics

that is fine, they get smaller the lower u go, thats the nature of NPT, thread it in damn good, it helps it seal thats wy its like that, its NORMAL, u need to use 2 wrenches, one to hold the oil adaptor and one to hold the blue fitting and turn them to tighten them in
ps wrap teflon arounf the blue one before u thread it in
