Thanks man! Just trying to get a job here in OKC. Once some money starts coming in, I'm fixing my exhaust leak and upping the boost during a re-tune. I'm also highly considering fabricating a V-band 3" downpipe which would clear the mount.

Officially no boost leak, even at 120PSI pressure test :jae:.

Sealed system FTW.

Next step, is replacing the turbo/downpipe gasket, and then comes the re-tune!! This will be a nice birthday present.. :peace:

Yup! It won't be insane, but it will be more for sure. Remember, still stock rings/internals.. I don't want anything to blow because I need this car reliable for at least another year before I can start blowing sh*t up.

New front bearings pressed in and everything is installed as of 5 mins ago. All clear for new 10PSI tune as soon as air temp on given day falls to 80 F.
