Re: GSXTACY

We welded it back up and got it installed later on in the afternoon on Saturday. The welds Nate put on there are the prettiest thing about that stupid manifold, lol.

Then, I apparently forgot to tighten down the turbo flange bolts and 2 fell out tearing the gasket and creating a huge exhaust leak. It turns out that the lock washers were so crushed they weren't doin' a whole lot of locking, so I put 4 new ones on. I got a new gasket, tightened it down and now it's good.

NOW I'm having a problem with my Tial EWG (38mm) sticking partially open and causing boost pressure to be super inconsistent (this was happening before but the cracked manifold took precedence). I've already bypassed the boost controller so I know it isn't the Greddy solenoid.

Then, when I was coming back to my shop to try and clean the WG, I ran out of E85. LOL. FML. My gas gauge read 1/4 full but obviously not.

What a fun weekend!
