Nice job.I just spent big $$ on PHR Bosch hangar since there was nothing else available. Are you going to run socks? Please PM me as I am interested in purchasing a dual 415 hangar if you are going to sell them.

LOL I do make them by hand and they are not in anyway "professionally" made or " perfect" but they do get the job done. The globy looking stuff on the studs for power and ground is a fuel tank sealant. I like to cover the studs just to make sure its sealed and wont leak fuel.

Nitrous Tested last night and all is well. I need to dial it in and get the afr's right when the spray comes on in the AEM. She made 17psi at 5300rmp on the 2step and transbrake. The converter is a 2500 stall so the spray is needed to get past that and get the turbo spinning.

The tranny got a bit hot sitting on the transbrake a couple times one after another so I need to be careful not to overheat the trans while dialing it in. But, for the first test hit, she did great. It will take awhile to get it right but its doing what its suppose too and confirms my wiring and AEM setup is correct. Video to follow when I get some free time.

Trust me I feel ya. I'm trying to get out to the track and it's the time that's the hardest part. I wanna do a few pump gas runs and a few kill runs and see what I can do.

So car has been down for a bit.. Trans started to puke oil out of the vent tube after a short drive with out touching the trans. Havnt had any time to diagnose the problem but I think it might be front pump seal in the trans causing a cross leak and making its way out of the vent tube. I need to check a few things before I pull the trans but need to find some time in the next couple weeks.

But aside from that, thought I'd share what I've been doing other than car stuff. Building a aluminum hand rail for my parents house which has been taking up most of time. Awesome project but loads of welding

We just finished the first 18ft of 100ft total.

So after all the nitrous hits that one night, turns out I indeed warped the front pump on the trans making it leak out of the vent tube. It would leak after warming up and not stop leaking. This indicated the front pump had cross leak between the two half's caused from excessive heat and a warped pump. Honest rookie mistake..

Anyhow, car sat for a bit bought a new pump, tore apart the car, replaced the pump and inspected the trans which it looked ok and nothing to major that stood out. While I was at it, decided to do some maintenance on the car and I ended up doing the timing belt, water pump, oil seals, fluid flush valve cover gaskets, turbo rebuild, fixed the 4" exhaust mounts and added a 4" vibrant resonator to the midpipe, installed the V3 Battle Version rear upper control arms to replace the ebay TC sportlines. Now I am in the process of finishing up recirculating the catch can. Pics are kinda lame but there are some here and there of all what went down in the last couple months.

Lots of oil on everything, I spent a lot of time cleaning everything up.

A/C pump removed. Oil change's are much easier now with that out of the way.

With the A/C pump out of the way, I moved the turbo feed line where the factory oil pressure sensor is because this is post filtered oil instead of pre-filtered oil on the oil cooler block. Turbo will be much happier with clean oil.

Compared to the janky TCsportline arms even though they held up fine.
