That's the thing, my carpet and headliner is black. 

So is my parking brake cover. So I don't even have to change out the carpet for full black interior. My seats are darkish blue cloth but honestly they may look good with the black interior. 

And I'll have to see how the rear diffuser looks on my car! So when you're on the east side of PA let me know!

I was thinking about running my crankcase vent to my exhaust to pull vacuum. Atmosphere doesn't pull any vacuum to the crankcase and you lose some performance unless you have about 2-3 inHg. But I may just try and vent it for now to isolate a leak

Couple updates:

Got a chance to mess with the 242 this week a little. Put some JB weld on the turbo drain tube. Stopped most of the leak but I missed a spot and it seems to be leaking from there too. I'll have to do more investigating. 

Let her idle for 10 minutes and warm up and actually idled between 900-1000 rpms. A lot better than the 2K it was idling at

Also turned up the boost controller. Turned it up a little more than I should and it boosted to 15 psi with AFRs of 12.6-13.0 so I dialed it back to 11 psi and now the AFRs are 12.2-12.7. I'll be doing the terminal 11 mod soon as well

Before I turned it back up to 11

Under light throttle though it hesitates a little. There's a couple dead spots but not consistent. Also when I give it some gas every few times it will lean out at 1psi and have no power, than shoot back to normal AFRs and power is restored and boost immediately builds. Hoping the T11 mod will help!
