Well it looks like I beat Harris to the punch. Finished her up Tuesday afternoon and she's back on the road and running like a champ! :-D I'm very impressed with the taper numbers I'm seeing with the Forge WGA. Barely any taper at all.

Also found the cause of death of the previous engine. Apparently the previous owner snapped one of the lines off of the waste gate solenoid and rather than replace it he just completely bypassed it. And the way he did it basically rendered the waste gate inoperative so from the moment Harris bought the car he was pushing full boost everywhere he went. I didn't even catch it till I was double checking some vacuum routing diagrams Tuesday morning.

Commence singing "On the road again" lol

 

Nice pics, nice progress. Glad to see her on the road again. Enjoy!

 

Yea, I was wondering why it blew up...glad its back on the road

 

Glad to see the car is up and running again. Sounds like the previous owner needs a special delivery of munitions ....
