Lol, I think it was a false alarm, I had some carbon build up on one exhaust port, we will see!

Pulled the sub frame and oil pan tonight, only checked two bearings but so far she looks really good!

My turbo is off the car right now so I was able to reach in there with a nylon brush and some cleaner. After doing that I was able to improve leakage by 20%!! So I am thinking that the carbon build up will go away once this motor is back up and running. It has been sitting and it was smoking like crazy due to the turbo being bad before so that could easily explain the issue.

Do you know which switch fuse # you tapped into? Having trouble finding a 12v power source only when ignition is on in the trunk fuse box

Gonna upgrade the trans & diff?

Right now I'm going to see how much power it can handle. Per the tuner, since I'm manual - he has seen them hold 1k hp. I'm going to need to go to some sort of LSD solution and new half shafts though.
