that is a steal, pms is coming back, i need to fight it for now.

I just did the w/g mod on saturday when I rebuilt my turbo. I turned the hook part in as far as I could while still being able to connect it. Was that wrong? I am getting about 25 psi but when it shifts I hear a weird air surging/blowing noise.

Tim how hard was it to connect after you turned it down 3-4 turns?

Tell me about it, Demon. I felt as though i should've put in a bigger order...

With 25psi, i dont think theres any wrong doin on ur part. Put it in perspective, to achieve half ur #'z, i need to disconnect the reline..lol. With thee amount of turns i did, the "eye" was about 1/4in atmost away from w/g flapper stem. Was able to get it to seat with some light pulling. Believe the air sound ur hearing is the turbo doin its job, blowing off the excess...wish i could make the sound again..

I had to do more than light pulling. But It feels really good so I think its ok also.

You will get back there Tim, just keep fixing stuff like you are doing!
