well I tried my boost leak test and failed miserably. I have a piece of crap black and decker air compressor. I should have known that it didn't have enough *** for this. I figure I'm just going to snug up the intake just a little to get it to a gas station and I'll do my test there.

 

Lmfao.

 

you always gotta ghetto rig your car jim...i like your style haha. hope you get it all worked out bro

 

Ah, i'm finally home, downing some Troeg's Pale Ale...good stuff.

Shaw, anymore sqealing from the brakes after the grease up?

Ryan, need I answer that?

 

haha.....yeah. I need a bigger compressor, that's all. I have a vent valve on my boost leak test and a bottle of "SNOOP" which is basically a leak detector fluid from Swagelok. I couldn't build any real pressure without burning up the crappy thing I had but when I turned it off and opened the vent valve I heard a bunch of air blowing out so it was doing something.

 

i dunno chu, i havent driven it yet, but im pretty sure i shouldnt have used the stuff i used hahaha. its spray and its red called umm...brake stop squeal or some sht, who knows. if tehy still squeek then every1 will hear sunday

 

thats wat i like to hear chu. im prob gona make the trip back to the illadelph for it. im dying to get out and dont have room for clothes and tires in the car heading up to school. guess whats getting left behind? haha.

chu btw when i head up there, (next weekend) i can still grab that piping for u just let me know.

 

Its cool man. Ray came through with one while we were installing Dave's parts 2 weeks ago. It was for the Sander, and his car is up and making some good power. See him in action this weekend @ E-town.

By the way, this one is for you Jim. Came in today!

 

I need to build me one of them. I don't think I have a leak, but it couldn't hurt to test it once and a while. I wonder if my craftsman tire inflator would work on it. It would probably kill my mini battery first though.

 

If it can build 20-30 PSI for at least a few seconds at a time it will work.

 

well the Blue Beast is done today. Gotta pick her up in a few.
Got a heftier bill then i thought I was getting, but it is what it is. I cant work on this car myself anymore. I lose patience.
I gotta take it back next week and have him retension the timing belt too. I still think its a little on the tight side

 

Jim, if the inlet diameter on your red is the same as stock turbo you can use my tester.

Doug, if you get te37's I'll be green with envy, but maybe I'll by your CE28's off you to 'lighten' financial burdon. I know of a silver set for sale, I think that whole contrasting color thing is silly.

on a good note insurance has come thru and the car will be fixed 100%. its at my body shop now getting ripped apart. HOpefully I'll be back in the road in 4-6 weeks.

 

its hard to follow everyones posts, but where did you go and what did you get done?

 

well apparently after taking so much pain meds for my ankle while laxing it up, im immune to pain killers. including but not limited to oxys, percs, vikes, ultram, even a morphine IV drip. so sweet, feel awesome.

actually feel better than i thought tho just cant sleep. thinkin bout heading down to E town with jeff or steve or someone...who all is running tom. jim, pete who else?

pete (grillpt) you get your car back up and running yet?

 

I appreciate the offer Marc. I'll try another air source to see what happens. I'll let you know.
