Pardon the blog. Something I've been discussing with a few other people got done

My cousin gave me the keys to the shop before closing yesterday. I got my car on the lift around 6:00 PM. I changed my gear oil to BG Synchroshift II, transfer case and rear end oil to ShockProof/90W mix. I changed the engine oil, strained it (clean) and cut the filter open to inspect (normal for a new engine).

Once I got all the maintenance stuff out of the way, the troubleshooting started. I boost leak tested it and found all kinds of crap leaking. Every coupler, my j-pipe flange, manual boost controller, throttle body gasket, base-idle set screw, and all 4 injector seals leaked (and they're brand new, too). I left the shop at 2:41 with no leaks to find my fuel trims all out of whack because all the compressed air is staying in the pipes. So I drove around for a good while to tune it by gauges so that it's in the ballpark safe area at 21 PSI, and then posted an abbreviated DIY on my web page about how to do a boost leak test.

I'll post another one later (much more descriptive) and post it in the tech forum for the turbo guys, but right now, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep.

Here's the Boost Leak Test DIY photo preview on my site for those who want to avoid the long descriptive one I'll post in the tech forum.
