^I am!
So I blame shane, he's a bad influence. I gapped my plugs down tonight from .022-.023 to .020-.021, stock iridiums. I was bawking at the thought of pulling them out and keeping the longblock virgin for a while longer. Then I realized I had taken them out on the day I bought the car for a compression test. Doh. Oh well. Plus I was getting some ignition breakup at 33psi
Of course, this is what I was fearing...I could have swore I smelled some coolant here and there but never saw puddles or anything...but I remembered I had tweaked the upper coolant hose while installing the BBX. I thought I was good, but finally it came back to haunt me--the thing I hate more than anything in this world: coolant!
Fukin coolant sprayed all over the cold side of the turbo and explains why the 'manifold' smelled weird lately after a hard run. I thought it was just lack of coating/heat protection, but no it was just burning green crap off itself:
