Re: Project XXX AWD WHP Or Bust!

Small update, car is being the typical DSM...leaky crabby, electrical issues here and there...but over all she Runs good.

*Biggest issue at the moment seem to be DSM LINK does not want to connect with the car mutliple attempts with no luck, then itll connect then a stretch of no connection. Its got my pulling my little hair i have out my head.

Speaking of little issues, i believe my head gaskets going out coolant keeps disappearing without external signs. Plan is to pressure test compression test and hopefully if possible leak down test.

Regarding the head gasket ...back groundf info after a few adjustments to the tune and rebuilding my throttle body to get the car to idle at 1000RPM's, as well as sealing up all couplers tightly, the car made 28PSI and hit hard. While test driving though the temp needle started creeping up vey quickly after a few consecutive pulls. Pulled of the highway quickly and it died mid intersection. Pushed it into a gas station. Let it cool down filled up the coolant. However it refused to start for a long time.

I couldn't check anything with Link due to no connection. After some monkeying around it finally started, but as soon as you gave it any gas it would kill. Eventually found a loose intake pipe coupler tightened the clamp and it ran just fine...I doubt that was the issue, because it was still attached to the turbo inlet?... but it fixed it... On the way back it made boost just fine, im just very confused. I have a feeling the Headgasket for sure is done...idk where else the coolant could be going

Idk why link is connecting so sporadic as well as my inovative wideband acting up as well. On the Bright side my wheels are brightly colored
