Sorry to be so quiet. We will have some SEMA updates during the show. Come by and visit if you are around. Booth #21549.

The fuel mileage sounds pretty normal for those that have chimed in.

We should also have an array of oils to update on before too long.

In the meantime, here is a little custom eye candy to look forward to at the show. This is Mico Motorsport's twincharged '15 STI build. (I don't have a dyno sheet.)

I had a smoke test done today, and they found a leak coming from the back of the BPV and they think it's coming out where the arm is fixed to the back casting. Anyone seen this and had success fixing leaks back here? I'm hoping maybe tightening the nut will do the trick, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to build a homemade smoke tester before I can really asses the fix. I don't want to spend another 70 bucks just for a maybe fix.

Gonna give @SprintexUSA a call today and see what they think.

That is really close to the fittings that are known leaks. Have you addressed the issues with the fittings yet? The plastic 90 degree one is usally the main culprit.

Going drag racing on Saturday, weather permitting, best previous pass was 12.8@109 on All seasons, Going to use slicks this time (hopefully borrowing a pair), I'll keep you all posted.

Mods- E85, 70mm pulley, 210 kit, tomei EL header and Perrin 2.5" resonated CBE exhaust

Yes, they've all been replaced with brass fittings and teflon taped.

Anyone have a log handy that they can post? I want to just compare to one of mine and see if I can gather any more clues. I can't get rid of this damn P2096 code even after replacing all of the exhaust gaskets, re-sealing the blower and replacing the rear fittings.

I want to figure out once and for all if this is really extra intake air related or not. Short term fuel trims at idle are all out of whack but fine under power.

12.8? Not bad at all man. What have you done to your transmission?

Holy crap 109 mph trap? Pretty impressive on a 210.

I want to try Jon bonds oil but was waiting for more input from @SprintexUSA does anyone use it yet?
I'm running the straight TriboDyn 75W90 until the warranty runs out and then might run the JB Performance afterwards for improved performance.

That, and the fact that the dipstick is so damn difficult to read from, and requires the rear to be jacked a foot to level.
I read the Tribodyn burns much less.

How do you get stats for fuelly? Is this via your ODB2 port?

lol. That was a slam-bang trip for sure. This year had a lot more people moving more quickly. The crowd was a swarm that came in waves. We had 11 people in the booth and all were busy.

We have officially unveiled the plus blowers, too. Sub-assemblies and kits will be on sale shortly. The blowers themselves arrived right before SEMA. We will need to build the first few sub-assemblies in OKC.

Question

What is the best oil cooler option? I read the Mishimoto will not fit with the intercooler. Currently looking at the Perrin oil cooler.
