Well he's still not done so you still got a chance to beat em Although he is so close now he's drolling on my seats on the way home The next time we wrench we should hear a blow off valve

are you going to use the stock hard lines or custom lines?

Wed - Had my car towed to Mid Atlantic, where they hooked up my wastegate, made me a dumptube, and setup a new drain line.
Thur - I installed yet another starter, and the car wouldnt start. Joel came through and we tried to turn the car by hand, no go. So I towed my car to Joel's.
Fri - Joel and I dropped the transmission, still couldn't turn the car by hand. Popped the valve cover and everything looked good. So we took of the clutch and flywheel. We were finally able to turn the car by hand. So we reinstalled everything. Went to start the car, and the battery was too drained to start the car. Joel took the battery out of demo, and we finally got the car started. The car was idling ok, so I went to drive home. As soon as I let off the gas the car drops to like 500rpms and tries to die.
Sun - Reloaded the correct bin onto my ecu. Tried to start the car, but it seemed like the battery didn't have enough power to start the car. So I took my old battery to get it charged/replaced.

I asked around, and it seems like I may have a vacuum leak. How do I test for vacuum leaks? This car is fustrating the hell out of me. It's my only car and I've been down for over a month now. Can anyone help me get this car back on the road?

Z, sorry about this weekend, got caught up in some stuff with wifey that I had promised to do.

There must be something you removed and didn't put back, or something got knocked off or broken. The car was fine before you guys pulled the tranny.

Visually check all the hoses around the IM, if you pulled the IC piping to get to the tranny check all your couplers. Did you re-use the same PCV valve when you switched VC's?

Brad, don't worry about this weekend, I was exhausted from the 14hr marathon that Joel and I put in on the car. I'll see if I can go do a visual inspection this evening. We reused the same valvecover/pvc. I'll check to make sure that we reconnected the hose from the IM to the vc. ASFAIK, we didn't remove/loosen any of the IC pipping. But since I'm running blow thru, wouldn't the loose ic pipping have to be between the maf and throttle body?
