 Re: Crunch time. That temp is normal does it heat up past 205? Mine stays constant on 200 via dsmlink. Just keep idling it with the cap off and squeeze the top radiator hose. Do that til you stop seeing bubbles. mine took awhile to do that.
For me just like I thought the wires and plugs were fine. Still new and gapped to spec. It was a boost leak. A few of them from the emissions crap I took off. I took care of them but now its leaking from the egr block of plate. I had the egr block off for some yrs now. I tired to tighten it but but no cigar. I'm just gonna jb weld that bitch shut.

Re: Crunch time. Took the plate off and the gasket was shot. Missing a piece. I just put a thin even layer of rtv and put it back on. It should hold until I install my SMIM. I'm gonna let it dry over night and boost leak test it in the morning. It should do the trick

Re: Crunch time. Ok goodnight/goodmorning the GSX won't be making it after all. I tried but couldn't come through. I'll still be at MOD see you guys in a couple hrs.
But I got a real nice surprise coming real soon. I'll make another thread about that very shortly in the near future. (Operation 400+ awhp)
