Has anyone tested and checked crank case pressure when going boosted and what were those reading?

This is the off topic thread. Although there are several knowledgeable members that post here, you really need to ask that question in the FI section.

I have a local tire store that matches their price + 1 dollar. I don't have to drive down to Midway, Ga. to get them. I just need to make sure they get the initial heat cycle service done to them that Tirerack offers.

yea thats my fear with going with a NT01 on a 3800lb car. feel that they wont last especially being only 6/32nds tread and at 3/32nds they are full slicks with 2 cuts in them. they offer to shave them from new right to slicks.

I have not. As long as you do not have excessive blow-by it should not be an issue.

My car may have to be downgraded from daily driver status due to wearing out tires. We shall see.

T fittings for vacuum lines came in. I tapped into the BOV line on the front of the engine. Why heat shield on only one of the hoses? I had a chunk left over, had to put it somewhere.

Probably not going to make a difference as it should equalize but I would of run the source straight into the tee and had the two feeders branch off.

I'll have to see if I can find a t fitting in that config.
