I got it dropped off at Dallas Performance yesterday. Everything was good to go minus a few minor things. Should have it back in about a week and will let everyone know the number, etc....

The car is still at Dallas Performance...with the hope to get it back this week.
I had to bend my dipstick tube back to fit after I bent it a long time ago for the headers I was running. Just as I about had it fitting, it broke....and thats what Taylor has been waiting on to come in.
Not sure what boost levels we are going to run. I pretty much left it up to Taylor since he will be able to know the safety, etc...

Well its at the tuners right now and its seems the drivers side turbo is making a pretty loud squealing noise. 
Hopefully he gets it figured out.
I told Taylor that If I didnt have bad luck, I wouldnt have any at all

Aggghhhh, sorry bro. Hope its something simple.
Im being plagued with blowing the inlet off under boost as well as getting boost creep. I might have to replace both wastegates with larger Tial units. Oh what fun...LOL
Keep us posted man.

I feel for ya man. I finally ghettoed a way to not blow my air bridge off. Now I just need to get the boost creep under control. Guess I got to get the header off again and take apart the WG.

Well the squealing was due to the impeller grinding on the inlet housing. I guess this is caused from bearing failure and will wait to see what Forced Performance says.
I shoulda just went with a big S/C haha

Sometimes it just gets to me and I know it would have been more cost effective going blower.....but Ill be happy in the end.Your car is gonna be sick with the F1C. What are your motor specs?
