I have no idea. Is it possible to have the CAS 180* out? I thought it was just because of the stupid light flywheel in the car now. I also don't have the front mount hooked up. I also didn't have my laptop on me to change any settings. I'm still waiting to send in my injectors for cleaning and flow match before I drive the car.
Check spark/fuel with ouput test mode.

In the video the car was idling around around 200-400 rpm. It would hardly register on my gauge cluster. I honestly don't think anything is wrong with the the car. That was just what it sounds like with 1 bolt in the downpipe and low idle. The solid mounts are going to be ridiculous though, gonna hold out for some used AWRs or something.
The flywheel is 9.5lbs.

That will be fun. I think mine is 8.3 lbs. Will be for sale soon though.

Weir Performance - Solid Pinion Spacer Kits
First link google popped up.
I know @Leafy set up his diff himself.
Getting the right pattern is heavily dependent on pinion depth. Thats why your pattern was so far towards the toe. Backlash just moves it towards/away from the root.

Should I have invested in this before handing off an OSGiken to the builder?

So got the car running pretty good on wastegate pressure. Going to the 460CC injectors has been somewhat a pain. The idle was fine but after 180 degrees on the coolant the pulse width was set incorrectly so the car would stall. It did that to me right in a super busy intersection.
I have also noticed that VEAL does not play well for my idle. I have to lock the cells or it will put my VE so low that the car won't start back up again. Warm up Enrichment I still have to play with as well since the car just starts dumping fuel on a hot start.
Still, logs look alright and once I got my Time based EAE going tip-in got much better. Still some fine tuning left.
Think I am going to try a center exit exhaust on the car.
I also mounted my Kirkey to the floor. Short video of how I did it. Overall content with it, but it needs some adjustment. I think a quick release would make live easier with the seat mounted the way it is.
Manual boost controller suck...

I got some soot around the exhaust manifold (between the head and manifold to be more specific) and I am not sure if I should try another gasket or to use some high temp cooper based RTV. I feel like the flange is just not super flat anymore, which was to be expected, but what did you use when the kit was on your car? Super happy with the turbo overall. Even on the little 1.6L it feels like I will have no more excuses being a second off the top guys this season, but tires are going to be used at a quicker rate for sure.

Electronic Boost Controller in and working pretty well. I have it hooked to a switch in the car that will let me stop a constant 12v supply to the valve and open it to just run wastegate pressure. With the EBC working I get a pretty solid 12-13 psi pull that brings the power to a much more linear usage. It's a nice gradual pull which really lends itself to autocross.
I made a video of the install, how I did it, some footage of the install and a log of 2-4th gear pull. Really happy with this modification and I think every car should have it.

Yeah that's what most use for the timing light. If you're really JDM you'll have a tiny cap that clips over it.
For the record switching 12v is fine, but too much on/off might blow the switch or fuse, which will really only leave you on waste gate, this isn't your fuel pump or anything.
