if you go up a few posts back to where I put in the plug for my oil line... UHHHH.... i went too far left and now the oil line is an inch away for the downpipe.... it would suck to be driving or racing and then my turbo siezes and my motor f's up... my friend has turbo wrap that is rated at 500F... I think I am just going to wrap the pipe and also the oil line... What do you guys think?

What do we think??? I think your a lucky bastard!!! Nice going Robb and that heat wrap should be just fine
hmmmm. dont wanna rag on the kit, im sure its fine... but i guess i just have to turn the boost up and break it in more... not to mention the huge oil leak problem im having.. grrrr.
hey robbusaf.... what are you saying? doesnt feel fast? and how in the HELL do you have an oil leak problem.. better fix that sh*t ASAP before turbo goes to shit.........

SF RULES street and track
1st 7th gen with a DHRACING crank pulley> havent been to track with it on yet
yea... im trying to fix it right now... the tube slipped off of the oil plug from the oil pan... im waiting for my friend who has a floor jack... ugh. it feels faster now that i turned the boost up to 8psi but i havent really driven it around yet...,
ok... i fixed the oil leak... i think... my hands are all cut up. anyway... right now i am running at around 7psi-8psi... the bov stutters but sounds hard. =)
does your car die even when the clutch is pushed in all the way when you go to park your car or make a turn? it has done that 4 times and it kind of worries me....
Oh my god, I am not the only one whose car stalls @ lights! Yeah mine is too, do you have pullies on your car, crank pulley specifically? My car ran at only 700rpm @ idle before so w/ the change in fuel set up it is stalling out. Good thing is though you can always start it up again.
We are going to try to up the idle, my friend works @ Honda and said there is a way on our cars but if not my dad came up w/ a good idea, stick some type of hosing by the throttle body so it will just add a little to the idle rpm.
Everything turned out OK on my install, let me know if you have any ?'s I just finished up my 14 hour install yesterday and I know what you are going through!
Sf kit install today. PIX
