Update: So still doing some datalogging with Corbin. The base map alone made a big difference. The idle issue I had was fixed immeditely. So the only issue im waiting to hear back on now is my fuel pressure seems to be 18% off so it might be an injector issue or I might not have my fuel regulator set properly. More updates soon!

So I have an update. I done a boost leak test and I managed to find 2. Well I found one and can hear the other one. 

This was the first. 

This was an easy fix cause the hose was too long anyways so I just got off the split part and reattached it. 

But I noticed when I started the car the amount of oil that came out of the exhaust was gross.

and its hard to see but there is a pretty big stream of oil in the intake.

So after talking to my tuner we have come down to either its the turbo which is the last choice just because its brand new pretty much, or maybe its the valve seals or just the block itself. So where im getting the motor redone im going to just store the car soon. But hoping this weekend to get my brakes and headlights on just to get that out of the way.

Well just an update seeing I havent done one in a while lol the plan hasnt changed much. Im considering shipping my car to IAG and getting them to do my engine. Right now im pretty sure ill go with a stage 3 block and stage 4 heads. While its there ill prob get them to install my new clutch, fuel system and aos. I plan on buying IAGs fuel rail kit, fuel lines and Aeromotive fuel reg and sell the perrin one I have. I plan on getting a Stage 4 Competition Clutch. I have hub centric rings, red Rays center caps and Rays lugs nuts. I do believe ill also switch out my gauges. Also plan on getting RCE sway bars ans kartboy endlinks along with a Perrin PSRS kit and GS master cylinder brace. After all this the car will be prob done for a while. Might do a different turbo setup down the road or buy a new toy to do up Cheers.

Well I started the parts order lol heres to many more I guess. So tonight I ordered a Killer B oil pickup tube along with the baffle. I also order IAG fuel rails and fuel line kit to fit an Aeromotive fuel regulator. Next will prob be the sway bars, endlinks, pitch stop, engine and trans mounts, cylinder brace and a PSRA kit. Then all I have to do is short block and heads hahah
