Message	went to the lake to visit my parents who were camping over there. car has a serious boost leak, but the motor is running/idleing/sounding better than ever. this boost leak is impossible. i have no clue as to where its at. i cant get it to pressurize at all. well, anyway, at least its running right with my new fuel setup. from before when it was running here is what i have done. put in tomei 1.2mm metal head gaskets, put in new intake gaskets, installed a different 5-speed tranny, and the best part, installed an RPS carbon-carbon clutch. i also found time to put in a 3-gauge A-pillar(pyrometer, boost, fuel presssure). oh, and i cant forget the fuel system, a full aeromotive setup(pump,controller,filter,regulator, SS lines) more on that in my profile. also ditched the haltech. gonna go something different next summer. yeah, and i am completely broke, the clutch did me in. but at least its running right. i'll be on ramen noodles for the next 10 months. the RPS carbon-carbon clutch is absolutely amazing! stock like feel, and can hold 1000ft lbs of torque!!! thanks again to greg dupree!!! he's the best, if your interested in one go to [ http://www.specialty-z.com ] well, onto the pics. also, the center panel is out. it heats up with it in, so i have to leave it out til i fabricate a custom ram-air like panel to cool the radiator. the kids in some of these pics are my nieces and nephews. they love my car =)
