Also what did you drive on the down time, you have a second vehicle.
I leased a Nissan Micra

Sorry if this has been asked/answered already.
I'm glad you got all the kinks worked out, what's your next stage?
Turning up the boost!

Don't feel bad I destroyed a perfectly good vhr motor.
Was just curious, must admit you've done it to the fullest.
Sometimes you've got to break done eggs to get that omelet.
I'm sure you will get it sorted out, good luck with buttoning up the rest of your build.
Hopefully all goes well.

Quick Update:

Replaced my busted CF mufflers (broke my Driveshaft a while back) with brand new SS mufflers from Fast Intentions and RB sounds like it should again (the exhaust leak drove me insane). Also wired an Innovative MLX Wideband into my Adaptronic ECU (best investment ever) and what a difference! A few datalogs later, I put together a quick conservative tune for the road and slowly cranked it up to 25 psi There's more room to go but I'll keep that till I upgrade the cooling to get it on the dyno.

In the meantime, enjoy another one of my ghetto video! (My neighbors sure didn't )

Haha why are you guys making it sound like it I kept it a secret. I always posted pics of what I was doing. In my signature you can also see a link to Quick Specs with a summary of everything I've done.
