Just ordered my Hobbs switch for my terminal 11 mod. Hoping to be running 15-16 psi on my 18T safely.

What chyu know about 30+ year old OEM mudflaps BNIB? 






My Hobbs switch also came today for my terminal 11 mod. Currently set to 15 psi but will most likely be setting it between 11-12 psi

Went for another drive yesterday. It's PISSING oil from the turbo drain gasket. I've had enough with this hard drain so I decided to tap the block and run a flexible line and hope to have better luck. 


Here's what I ordered this morning:








Hopefully the combination of these will work and the new gasket will stop the leak. When driving all the oil that leaks out immediately goes back onto my wrapped downpipe and smokes like crazy. So not really drive able right now. Gotta keep topping off the oil. 



But good news is the turbo seems to spool faster and sooner now. Gets right up to 10psi and pulls hard! Still having issues with leaning out at low rpms and 1-3 psi. Going to still replace the fuel filter when the weather is nicer. Good thing is it doesn't lean out under boost until about 11 psi it'll hit low 13s on the AFR gauge. But the terminal 11 mod should fix that and allow me to run 13-15psi!
