Its taken this long to get things smoothed out. I'm going to try and make and extermely long story short here. The first attempt failed because I had a vacuum leak at the SI manifold. No biggie. I fixed it and came out with a fuel leak. One bad enough where I had to tow it home. Then there was a serious vacuum leak and I ended up bloking off the EGR and idle valve passeges for good this time. Then after a couple of runs one of my hoses started slipping of the IC and gave me a boost leak.

Now everything seems to be working ok. No fuel/vac/boost leaks. The WG gives me a little over 4 psig by itself. I decided to install a MBC I made. The first runs with that were kind of crazy. It was spiking every time. I spiked up to 15 psig once and lemme just say that I can't wait till I can run that much boost. It felt like the car was just getting ripped out from underneath of me. Turns out I brainfarted and had it installed the wrong way. I've got it on there correctly now, and I'm trying to slowly move my way up to 10. Its giving me 6 right now. I figure 10 should be fine till I can get it on the dyno. I know its running real rich right now. I want to get that straigtened out before going too much higher then that.

The only problem that I've noticed so far is that it has one of those transitional hickups. Sometimes it doesn't want to go into boost if I just floor it from vac. I'm pretty sure its one of the settings on my 034. I'll do some searching for settings. I've seen some threads where people were having similar problems with it.

I painted the IC pipes with Plasticote Engine Enamal. Its good up to 500 degrees F. The color is Old Ford Blue #205. I also put on a clear coat - Plasticote as well. It gives it a nice shine and makes it look a little wet when they're clean. The paint seems to be holding up real well. I've had one of the pipes installed in the engine bay for over a year now and it still looks great.
