Please DO NOT Post In The General Section
From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

fixing the fitting dilemma this morning, going to go out and find the right size thread fitting... while im at it i figure i might as well run the coolant lines, so ill pick up some fittings for that too while the turbo is easily accesible. wideband is in this morning, but havent gotten a chance to datalog as i havent run the car yet.... all in good time.
and i swear, if this thing leaks ANY oil by the time im done with it, im finding the biggest bridge around, and driving it off of it.1993 CB7

car runs great, smooth powerband, and completely smooth idle at about 800... im really happy with it.... im gonna spend the rest of the day smoothing the map and tuning with the wideband... i drove the car 2 hours on the freeway yesterday with no problems... leaks NO oil now, engine temps were good... but heres the riddle... i havent hit 8 psi yet, but i think im having wastegate probs... either i cracked the flapper or the rods stuck... to my knowledge i havent hit the point where the WG opens, but since about halfway through my drive yest, the turbo doesnt even spool till 3500, and weak at that... as in i cant even hear the BOV...i rechecked for boost leaks, and the pipings fine... so im thinking the WG is stuck open, or the exhaust housing is cracked around the WG, ill inspect later today...
other than that, ive been taking it easy on the car... couple Spec V's and a mid 90's mustang gt on the kill list already, and only at ~4psi before i let off... cant wait to safely push 8
thanks to everyone who helped out, all you guys on the site, couldnt have done any of this without the help!1993 CB7

not to revive a dead thread...
popped the hood today to check on everything, ive been trying to finish tuning the vac section so im not running overly rich.... anyways, i noticed the breather filter on the left side of the valve cover (the one that goes to the stock intake) is saturated in oil, and theres some oil spackled all over the engine bay, im about 1/2 quart down too, and this is the first time ive noticed this... any ideas to the culprit?1993 CB7
