FullBlown you guys have the heads ready yet? i may need some lol

Wrong. You should have taken time off work, and let me help you install the kit over a weekend which is what I offered you in the beginning. I warned you that I would not let a dealer install the turbo kit:

This is the problem I ran into when Visconti was tuning my car. I went from having perfect AFRs to leaning out at WOT. His solution was to install two O-rings instead of one and he had the part number to buy them from NAPA. I pulled my pump, installed the two O-rings and put it back together and my AFRs went back to perfect.

I will get it fixed and running again and call it a lesson learned a rather expensive one at that.

I am glad that you have learned your lesson. I am still here and willing to help you any way possible to get your car back and running. I can make a drive to PC and look over your entire kit install if you want. I can help you work on the motor should you decide to take this out of the stealer's hands.

No problem man. I wouldn't mind seeing the car before you ship it off though. I hope FA20club works out well. I will be interested to see your results.

isn't that the correct spring for the application, 5.8psi? you'd want that if you plan on boosting 7-8 psi with a boost controller, i believe.

no i wasnt using a boost controller spring pressure only

Doesn't matter what the spring was inside if the wastegate wasn't hooked up properly or if it was leaking or if the fuel pump o-rings were not sealing etc.

no boost controller at all? not even a manual? with no gauge! that's nuts.
