want to punch myself in the head well I get the car running. Sounds great by the way. Turbo spool is hella loud. When all of a sudden the car starts pouring out white smoke and a check enging light comes on. 
the car said it was running lean and to fix the problem the ecu ran really rich. So rich that the gas could not fully burn and was leaving water in the exhaust. Well I realize that I welded the o2 sensor too far away and it was giving a false lean condition. 
now I have to pull it apart to fix that and then its all good. Time to dyno tune. And get an alighnment. The new Teins threw my **** all off. Well just wanted to update everyone on the progress. Should have it fixed by the end of the week. some times I just want to kick my own ***. It was a stupid mistake on my part. Oh well live and learn. 
But on the pluss side the car ran great for about 15 min. 
wait to you guys hear it. you can hear the turbo spool up from about 100ft away. 
whan I get my new camara this weekend I'll throw up the new picks. Oh and the Kit looks soooooooo good.

Rep Power: 297 once I get the new camara I'll throw up some new pics. I might take some of the engine with my camara phone and see how they come out. Ya I wish I would have paid a little more attention when I did it the first time but its all good. At least I know that That is the only problem. Few more days and it will be all gravy.
