There was no boost leak. I had done my TB seals a couple months ago, but have been running 16psi because the restriction in the vacuum line to the actuator wasn't high enough. I had also started having problems with fuel cut because the psi would spike. Doesnt help I dont have a properly functioning boost gauge... Car runs like a raped ape now though.

Yesterday:
-Towed my parts car to my buddy's house, which culminated in us using jury-rigged seatbelts attached to his Mitsubishi Delica to drag my car in reverse (with me at the wheel) to a different parking lot. That was a unique experience.
-Pulled the Cusco 3pt Front Strut Bar to replace my 2-pointer.
-Started flushing and polishing the banged-up Koyo aluminum radiator from the parts car.
Today:
-Pulled the Kenwood head unit and unbolted most of the dash from the parts car. The wire management is vastly superior to the mess in my main vehicle.
-More radiator flushing/polishing.

I've also sprayed mine but it keeps on chipping off.Especially if car is washed with the pressure washer.
Replaced my mini battery, swapped the snows for summers, rear caliper pins and springs replaced and front inner splash shields installed. Just waiting on Binary caliper ducts and I'll have everything I need for my brake duct kit.
