Good advice, I'll mark it before disassembling.

Where can I buy them? I have CXRacing chinacharger....

Then get the chinese sold bearings on ebay, I've used them before and they are fine; especially in the chinachargers.

Ic pipes look like 3" pipes, the hoses for the boost controller are like 2 feet long each. The catch can is useless without a vacuum source since all you're doing is looping 2 closed areas and putting a vent in the loop.

What's the bunch of lines on the far left? Looks like they go to the fuel rail but its hard to see where all the rest go.

Looks like theres a fuel pressure riser too.

I like that intake manifold though got any more closer pics of that area?

IC pipes are 2.5".
Tomorrow I will take close up pics of the intake side.

Sometimes it burns a little if the car sits at idle for more than 2 minutes after its been running clean.

I pulled the plugs for the first time after 1000 miles last night and closed the gap to .028" since i was having issues with blowing out spark at 17 psi. plug 3 and 4 had oil and carbon buildup but 1 and 2 were clean.

At this point I'm leaning toward a valve seal / guide leaking in the #3 and 4 cylinders when the engine is under vac. Initially i though the oil seal in the turbo might be leaking and the oil was burning once the egt's got hot enough but since its been doing it at idle when the car is warmed up I've been leaning more toward the guides. I'll post pics of the plugs when i get a chance later tonight.

To test the valve seal maybe try a compression / leak down test?
