I wonder how long it takes to get a for sale ad approved on this site, it's been almost a full two days now. Anyone have experience with it?

Usually it's pretty quick, did you leave out your location or one of their other requirements? Sometimes that will delay it.

To tell you the truth Ben thats one of the only things I haven't checked, but I figured it wouldn't be a simple solution, so I'll check tomorrow! But my pressure tank isnt releasing any air once I unplug the hose...

You should be more concerned with the primary Issue, that being the car still has a rotary. :-)

make sure the butterfly in the Y-pipe isn't getting sticky as well as the actuator for the boost transition(lower actuator below the wategate actuator in front of the primary turbo).

diagnosing the twins is a pita.

Its done! totally fixed now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im so stoked, I bought two hallmans, and set it up like damian, but I had to drill out my restrictor pills because they are built into the 99 turbos. I feel like rebuilding the engine would be an easier task haha

Looks good Preston but is there any way you can leave the stock bumper diffuser piece to hide the gas tank?
