The bad:
Now, it leaks oil at the housing on the inlet and outlet flanges i have. It doesn't spray or anything excessive, you can see the film of oil making it past the threads and gasket. I'm going to do some more investigating tomorrow night. It has about 4 miles on it before I called it quits at dark.
On the header to turbo connection, one bolts is insanely hard to reach, and is barely tightened down while the other 3 bolts are really tight. You can hear it leaking at the flange.
The car is throwing two codes. One for the VCTS (which i need to buy the relay for. So let's ignore that. The other is for BARO sensor output HIGH. I have the CPE flashes (all 3) and my standback written saying I have the AEM 3.5 BAR MAP sensor, which I believe is installed correctly.
Other than that, the car fired up right away, idles normal, and drives SUPER DUPER SMOOTH.
The balance shaft delete and Fidanza flywheel are amazing. The car barely vibrates at idle, and it's nothing annoying, I even added the AWR passeneger engine mount.
Even at part throttle around the block, i could feel it wanted to get up and go. I am in love again. It revs fast and I feel i wont have much problems spooling this thing.
I'll be leaving the car at home tomorrow and when i get back from work I'll try to fix the small leaks.
