Yes, I am.. Putting it in the other side when i get it.

i would look at a set of larger squirters to take care of that boost.. how much are you running?

tap your pan, dummy! no brainer...

and you wanna sell me those old wheels? those are nice :)

As sin said... Tap the pan. The port in the block is pressurized... The drain needs to be gravity (no pressure).

well the total (Cheap eBay kit) like 1k

MSPNP - 700

Random bitts and parts the gay kit didn't come with.. (200-300)

not to bad actually for a china charger :)

I plan to upgrade the kit soon this is just to get me started.

But, What i did is start running my oil and water lines to the turbo.. But, Thats about it :)

Hopefully it will be a better day tomorrow.

I got them so cheap i couldn't turn them down.

Props to you and anyone else that can work off their driveway on jackstands and cinderblocks and/or wooden crates :bigtu:

albumleaf 04-16-2009 11:50 PM

Great work but don't even bother with the 18's. I hate getting all m.net on this but seriously, 17's usually make the NA look like a donk as is.

MGrissom 04-21-2009 08:11 PM

Yea, Well i started my car idles good with the MSPNP... and im looking at the engine and i have water coming out my air filer im like wtf... so i pull my oil dipstick up and its all milky... z.z Think i crossed a water line into oil somewhere? IDK from me looking at it it looks fine.

Maybe i hooked a waterline up wrong to the turbo..? Is there anything else that could cause this?
