Damn. Of course I can't find the email Dimitris sent me originally to start completely fresh. I never delete any emails, but that conversation seems to just be completely gone. Emailed him, hopefully he gets back to me.
Regardless...a lot of the stuff in this tune (which is what I started it with) does not seem to make sense.

Got it running, and took it for a mile or so drive. It's awesome.
Continuing my trend of probably being overly paranoid, there's a tick that I don't like. Seems only noticeable at idle, but it's pretty loud. Sounds like it's coming from the head area. Going to hopefully investigate it more today.
Also downpipe to turbo joint is leaking, and that vband seems dicked. Ordered a new one that should be here today.

I no longer believe you. Car is at engine buildersb shop. We spent all day tearing it down twice trying to diagnose it. Initial thought is that the oil pump is bad. Brand new from boundary. He's taking the engine out tomorrow hopefully and giving a more conclusive diagnosis.
Ugh :(
So much for racing it this weekend.

Okay. Back. Long story, but it's running now.
It was roughly tuned by engine build on his DynaPack today, and made 192whp, which with the way he was doing pulls said is probably 220whp if it were a dynojet. Running only "waste gate" pressure. Not exactly sure what that should be. But it consistently made almost 11psi. Didn't have time to get the EBC working. Or E85. Oh well. First even tomorrow. Hope it all works.
Also, can not ******* get the turbo to downpipe joint to not leak. Ughhh.

Wondering if I should change to the next size up China charger?
