Short vid of my car running...for once!
Well, 3400miles, still running strong. I'm stuck at 12psi until Steve Kan flies back out here.

1st gear had crazy wheel hop, it was on low boost (~8psi)
that is the stock blow off valve, i have mounted it where the passenger side oil cooler is/was
comments welcome

Sounds very nice Brian! Good thing that diff is going in there soon
Better check your axles for cracks as well. And your pinion shaft gear.
J/K man, just remembering my wheelhop!! Dirty is the only word that comes to mind.

oh yes...water/alky injection got installed this week, going to wrap that up today and take it out for a spin, my AEM c2di should be here by friday, just waiting on my 25row to show up so I can get the oil cooler in and hit the dyno.
i've been doing oil samples on the motor, and the bearings are fullly broken in at this point, the rotary aviation seals put lots of chromium in the oil, but i suppose that was while they were breaking into the rotor housings, i'm still seeing traces of chromium about in the oil, i'll post mileage when this stops occuring

actually that's an interesting story jspecracer7, the AEM died on me once, got car towed, used bypass plug, sent back, they returned and said it bench tested okay
i put it in, did it again, this time in a parking deck, after about 5mins of driving, sent it back, but this time i put paint marker on screw heads to see if they would actually work on it---which i found later, that they cannot repair/work on them, beacuse the interior is potted with epoxy, so it's unrepairable
i got it back, untouched, looks like they simply bench tested it again (at room temperature...)
called and explained that i would not run this in my car, and that i wanted it replaced, they sent i back again, untouched
got in touch with a manager, named "kurt miller@extension 237", he apologized completely and is overnighting me a brand new one, harness and all so we will see

so we will seeWhere did you go to get all the information about sending the AEM out to a repair shop? I may have to do the same as you and get mine repaired.
