No coolant has been burned as of yet. Looks like out guess of the air to water intercooler was correct. Everything is just fine except the lack of a full tune just yet.

Well it made it to our local Cars and Cafe show yesterday morning. Lots of cars, from VWs to Lambos and everything in between. Another local FB decided to park next to me, although he has an RB26 swapped into his car. There wasn't a moment that passed when there wasnt 5-6 people around our cars. I was pretty pleased =)
But of course it couldnt all go as planned. On the way home that night the cap on the coolant nipple on the rear iron for the factory throttle body burst, throwing coolant all over everything and causing me to need to get it towed home. Luckily I was only a couple miles from home, cause I soon as I smelled coolant, I pinned it and drove it as far as I could before it started to get hot. Didn't over heat it, don't worry =) And I luckily have friends with big diesel trucks and I always have a tow strap in the car lol

Fill the pipe with black rtv before you put a vacuum cap on it. The only time I've ever had a problem with its was when the rubber degraded from heat and cracked even then coolant barely seep out.
