              Sweet thanks veggiemike

              would be interested in seeing that msq file 😉

              manual boost controller? Electronic? Or just straight spranging it with boost reference directly to gate?

                  If you're sending those MSQ's around feel free to hit a brother up!

                  Also, I think I know where your oil is going. Watched the dyno pull vid and saw the let off cloud

                    Ya No doubt my car is consuming a bit of oil. I have been monitoring it frequently though and it doesn't seem to be much worse then it was when the motor was NA.

                    About a quart every 1000 miles... 1/4 of a quart give or take every 2 tanks of gas or 300 miles.😁

                      Do you have an oil restrictor in the oil feed line?

                                      It sounds different than other 24V builds and is the best that I have heard.

                                        the turbo mellowing out any harshness/rasp? would love to hear it sometime too.

                                          I dont know the manifold setup, but I love the hell out of an RB/JZ exhaust note. You are probably correct on that and the single exhaust bundling it all up
