Excellent!

I'm sure it is quite a relief to be driving the car once again, since I recall you mentioning to me that several months had passed without driving it. Withdrawl can be an unfortunate stage for car owners lol.gif. It's great to hear that you have your vehicle running 100%, and better than ever! A project well-done, I say!

hmmmm... what are yourunning for boost? I only ask because if theturbo doesnt have a propper break in period, you blow oil outthe ass end like a certain 04turboex...... and that was a name brand turbo not an ebay kit.

be careful with that turbo man, sounds like she is holding up well but I have heard of way too many horror stories about those Chinese turboes. Hell I had bought a big 16g for my Eclipse and decided against installing it and sold it and instead went with a EVO 3 16g. The kid who bought the turbo off of me had it rnning great and then at about 2k it blew up and it wasn't a pretty site.

i would look into the oil flow to the turbo and back it off big time for a while to give plenty of break in time. Most turbo kits let the oil pressure do what it wants. Too much oil pressure will blow your seals quickly.
