how much boost are you planning on running when everything is all said and tuned and broken in?

mmmmmmmmm............was thinking probably 12 for street 18 for strip. Then after I get lsd later, probably 22 for the strip. I figured at 12psi I should be able to push out about 270 to the wheels after the dyno tune. All depends on how it grips, I'll probably push as much as I can until traction becomes too much of an issue.

UPDATE. sorry guys, work as been killing me and haven't had much time to work on the car. Replaced the crank seal last thursday and now there is NO oil leak yippie!!!!! Took her for a drive thursday night to make sure no oil leaks came up after a mild drive, just took her up to about 3800 rpms. It was nice to drive it, but it is running like ****. I think I have the vaccuum lines all f'd up becuase it idles really ****ty and sometimes dies altogether unless I give it gas. Anyone know where the A/f ratio should be at idle? Now all that is left is to figure out what is causing the really rough idle, get the vaccuum lines figured out and hook up all the electronics and gauges so I can tune it.

Well car is running decent. I drove her quite a bit the last 3 days. Man does the BOV sound sweet. Still running a little rough but I can't tune it because the power on my wideband broke, so I have to wait until its resoldered onto the board. I can't believe a 400 dollar part broke that easy. Pretty frustrating. I didn't take the rpm's too high, just about 5 but felt decent boost levels, starts boosting about 3500 and really starts to take off at 5k which is why i didn't push it passed there. So far I haven't had any oil leaks from the turbo but I am having some cooling issues, someone told me there might be some air in the radiator so I'm going to try and get that figured out. I'll try to get some engine shots up in the next few days.

While you were filling the cooling system, did you open the bleeder near the thermosat housing until water came out of it?
