Picked up some black braided fuel lines, black hose ends, and 4" stainless pipe for downpipe.

Been trying to get my 7 de-flooded for a couple days now and not having any luck, looks like I'll be towing it in tomorrow.

Maybe next week will be better.

Found out my engine is done. Today was a sad day. Looks like I'll be swapping in a turbo sooner than I'd planned.

It was a fresh rebuild with a new turbo. It appears I have an intake restriction but I have no idea how to figure out where. I took the charge pipes off and there was nothing obvious. At 23.5 psi on a bw s366 I should be over 500

It's a .88 but since the boost gauge now reads 24psi at full boost where it was 20 before as set on the profec b I'm guessing boost leak or a restriction. I'm going to try to make a pressure tester tomorrow.

Got the passenger seat in but I think I'm going to have to have the drivers seat bolted to the floor pan to get enough headroom. Easy install though since corbeau has rx7 rails at least for the passenger side.

Black mamba performance ABS delete kit was installed today, I really like the added hard line cleans things up.
