Looks great. I like the choice on changing color on the wheels also. Hope you get it worked out.

thanks again. I pulled the plugs on that side of the engine, all spotless, no oil. Did a leakdown (cold) and all were 5-6%. Pulled the valve cover and all seals are intact and accounted for.

Not sure what it is, but I'm going to put some miles on it and see what happens. Only smokes at idle, and only after you stop for 15-20 seconds or so.

It also will only make 10 psi of boost. The wastegates are set at 13 psi (springs) so I'm confused on this one too..........

It has a manual boost controller that worked fine with the other motor. I've checked the lines several times as well as the controller (with compressed air) and everything looks fine. Even switched the lines around, but it made no difference. These are Tial 44mm units.

Drove the car into town, runs fine. Never got over 190 degrees, never missed a beat. Did find myself timing lights so I wouldn't have to stop for long though..................

Just throwina few things out here.

Pull off all the lines to the wastegate, and boost it. Just make sure you watch the gauge or better yet have a passenger watch it while you drive. You can easily over boost if you not careful so if it exceeds 10 lbs you have your problem and can fix it.

If you are still not seeing more than 10lbs then, you might want check the spring rate. What bar did it say on the box.

What brand of MBC are ou using? If it's just a simple check vavle, it could have something in it, have a bad seal, or just plain be defective, even if it worked fine before.
