Check BOV. It may also be a boost leak.

I installed a downpipe, tires, wideband, boost gauge and oil pressure gauge; changed the oil, plugs and air filter and then took it for the first spin of the year.

Welded some flange nuts to my front cross member to make it infinitely more useful:

starter replacement

Finally changed her starter. It was grinding horribly and got to the point where it was taking 10 tries to get it to start. Pulled the old starter off and all of the teeth were missing half way down the gear. The flywheel was only slightly damaged. Thank God.

I had to get out a dremel and sanding wheel to get mine to fit man. They were not going in without some assistance.

Had my ETS fmic installed, changed the oil, timing belt tensioner, hub centric rings and spacers installed on my wheels and fixed some fender liner rubbing issues. It was a great weekend!

Somewhat installed my JDM rear, drained the rear diff, removed rear axle to replace leaking axle seal on rear diff (waiting on that piece to come in) and made some plates to mount my license plate lights on my rear crash beam for the JDM rear.
