I wanted to ask...when you welded your check valves in your DP for the crank evac...how did you know how far from the turbo to place them? Does it matter where you put them?

Winning or losing won't matter...what matters, Scott, is: Will you be singing during the race? If so...then it's win before the race even started.

Well they are pretty damn big-- like 8" plus you have a big fat hose going to them. So, the only place they will really fit is next to the transmission, pointed straight up. It doesn't matter how far because all that matters is the exhaust gas velocity. It probably does not slow down THAT much unless you have a resonator or cat. BTW DO NOT PUT IT BEFORE 02 SENSOR. IT WILL FU YOUR READINGS UP

I like how you can keep your coils nice and warm in that EZ bake oven tray.

I am getting a LOT of oil in the exhaust from my slashcuts. I did a compression test and saw 138/140/150/150.

Anyone got a leakdown tester I can use? And an air compressor...

I'm going to check the pressure in the head but I think leakdown is important.

I am pretty sure Y8s and Brain have one between the two of them.
