    Wish I had 15psi at idle. Reading the stock gauge I've only got like 8Psi. Knew I forgot something when putting her together. :nono: Forgot to shave the oil pump. :nono:

    ok, this is surely not a dumb question lol. promise.

    Two things I noticed. 1) No view of the exhaust side of the Turbo. 2) Talk to BigAaron at Driftmotion about upgrading your ct26 to a 57trim. It's good up to 16 or 17psi if I remember right. Just look under his vendor thread and the trubo rebuild is a Sticky there. Lots of people have...

    ABS stalled engine?

    Okay, sounds like it just happened ONCE right? If you don't get any codes out of her I would suggest doing some harsh testing on her. :evil2: Basically duplicate what you did last night, a hard stop in D. If it does it again.... kills the motor as it stops or whatnot, then try one more...

    Any other benefit on OEM coolant through the throttle body setup?

    Basically... Unhook the hoses from the TB. Insert a 3/8" hose connecter into both lines. Tighten one clamp on each hose. And you're done. Any ?'s ? Just ask. Later

    Broken valve springs; My fault?

    Just a quick question... where is the 7th Piston on a L6??? Anyway, the only way I know of springs breaking is if you put cams in the motor on worn springs, or if you get used springs out of a different motor with a different cam. Basically metal fatigue. Did you do any valve work...

    oil in plug wells

    Yeah most likely the valve cover gaskets. Rarly... could be the PVC hose connectors to the valve covers themselves. :dunno: Just food for thought. Later

    Yeah, have you washed your motor recently? Replaced the wires? Plugs? Mods that may cause this? Mine sounds rough like a dead cylinder, but I got my timing retarded like hell to keep me outta the throttle until a new knock sensor comes in. my 2cents Later

    what do you all think of this kit

    It may just be me, but the intercooler doesn't look right. Unless you have a front feed intake. upgrading the stock setup though, the inlet and outlet of the intercooler is on the same side right?
