Message	I joined the darkside a few months ago if you remember, with 15 psi compression on #6, meaning a full rebuild was underway. Well the car has been running and in breakin for the past few weeks with the fully built motor. Shifting at 3k and boosting to .35 at max. In the last couple hundred miles i've been giving it more gas and revs, only to discover it wouldn't pass the .5 boost mark. Well last night, we found and fixed the HUGE boost leak (the hardpipe from turbo to IC was basically disconnected), and i must say "SWEET DEAR LAWD JEEBUS OMG". 1.1 bar plain scared me the first time. The darkside OWNZ. I'm not used to breaking tires loose all thru 1st and top of 2nd gears. This is gonna take some getting used to, coming from an NA and all. I gotta give HUGE thanks to Rich (boileralum) for all his help thru the project, Bill (imthedevil) for the crazy ass night after the Ohio meet when he went completely out of his way to rewire my entire underdash - MUCH thanks bill, Tim (silvertwin) for his online suggestions and hospitality of letting us use his garage to fix the short that night, and Brett (dunno if he is on here) for the motor machining work. Couple pics of it:
