From the looks of it, I bet you can get at least 250 hp from that... maybe 260.

The build is looking amazing!

Are you guys manually pulling the clutch pedal back up after the bleeder valve is closed then pressing it down again?

It wont work if you don't pull it back up with your hands, well it will but you will be there for 30 days squeezing out a drop at a time. .

9krpmrx8 internal torque wrench for that ***. Luckily Hoss got the broken piece out or I would have burned the house down to the ground.

Maybe I'll get the kids to wash my wheels finally!! lol. I think I can get the oil drain out easily if I clock the turbo away from the wastegate arm.

not to turn this into a "Teach me" session, but exactly why are MAF sensors so close to the intake cone on boosted setups?

They aren't on all setups, there is a theory that you need 3" of material pre and post maf to get the most accurate readings. its best if those 3" are straight with no bends.
