Was thinking of doing a 10w40 but decided to test 5w30 Was running 7.8 psi on sat but decided to bump it down to WG spring pressure (6 psi) on Sunday (this is what @CSG Mike drove) in order to preserve brakes and be more confident and predictable with the throttle: Contrary to what most people thought, my use of E40-E50 at the track was not for big power but for consistency of power output, preservation and extra cooling of the cylinders.

Yes lol. These thermostats don't shut completely. Currently I am taping up some of the rows with gorilla tape but will be looking into a more permanent solution like manual valve in the oil cooler hose to stop flow completely when I want or as mike suggested a forester XT oil cooler on top of what I have.

Has anyone tried the kit with a smaller turbo like a GTX2867R yet? I'm assuming it would bolt right up if you using a Tial v-band turbine housing?

I asked about it with PTUNING and they said something about having to redesign a new mount from the transmission because of the smaller turbo. |

Sorry guys quick question, I've been busy lately so I haven't had time to catch up on things.
So I got my oil cooler few days ago, has the headers been shipped out too?
