Earl leak…
Finishing the lines on the SC. Hardest job I’ve done because of no space. This would be hard to do even with the motor out.




Once I got all the lines in I was still getting leaks. I kept tightening everything but the leaks persisted. They were hard to trace because they only show in boost.



All Friday evening, all day Sat and still no success. I wanted to make Nappy Boy Throttle Rockets on the 4th but it wasn’t looking good.

After talking to my friend Lyron I decided to take everything apart and use RTV and high temp thread sealant. But first I had to clean the oil out the garage.







After taking the lines apart for the 5th time I discovered I had two gaskets on the fittings to the turbos.

This was likely the issue but I went ahead with the sealant and rtv.


I also found an exhaust leak in my flex pipe.










And I made some brackets for some fog lights.









I’ll let the rtv sit for 24 hours before i drive the car, but I’m confident it won’t leak now. I’m getting breaking up under WOT and higher revs so I changed plugs in hopes to fix.
