So I'll deal with it for a while, I don't have any better ideas.

Timing and idle adjustments will be made soon. Idles around 1300, boost leak test and TPS adjustments Complete.

Heres a question? i always get code 11(and did the bit it ran before) which is for cam angle sensor. Now if the cas was truly bad would it even run? and what appears to be run well (under no load) I DO NOT have access to a known working CAS. Idk anybody with an sr. Input welcome.

Suspension update in the near future, been gathering the arms and such. Working on finding someone/somewhere to align the car. Everything is crazy out of whack since it was entirely disassembled and lightly eyeballed back together.

Stay tuned!

Glad to hear the car is running and showing improved numbers... That stupid ass bolt in the back of the head is scary. I went out and bought a bolt that has a longer length because the factory bolt doesn't utilize all of the available threads. I also RTV'd that corner when I swapped the VE head on, just as an additional precautionary measure.

Have you read through the FSM for that trouble code? Page 109 in the EC section outlines code 11.

You're in for a fun ride if you plan on driving the car a short distance to get aligned. I know when I had mine all apart it had extreme toe in in the front and toe out in there rear, car wanted to do all types of crazy things.

The things I would do to have heard you say 'rtv and longer bolt' a few weeks ago...lesson learned. I've continuously say it in this thread, this is my first full on build so I am amateur in the end.

Hey what version FSM do you use? The relevant page for mine was EC 91. Just curious? Always trying to gather resources.

Haha, yea I assume the thing will drive like crazy. Though this car isn't registered and I do not have the resources to do so as of now. (College student lifestyle) idea is to trailer it for the initial alignment since its so crazy. If I can find a trailer that is.
