no chris, i CREATED a problem by switching the oil feed line to a lower quality one. I went from a stainless one my buddy gave me to use while todd sent me one. I got the one from todd a few weeks ago and never had a chance to install it. By the way, the stock pressure sensor was a little gummyed up but bad. I'm just in the garage cleaning my car and the floor of half a quart of oil. i really don't know why the swivel neck had a leak but it did. I'm going back to the stainless line i had on.

thats what i meant was the oil feed line was leaking...any chance it was cross threaded or was ther a bad o-ring...maybe the line wasnt on the swivel tight enough...just some thoughts..
also was it the feed line todd sent you or the one someone gave you?
dont get too discuraged mang...iv made a few boo boo's on mine...when i installed the oil cooler on mine i just put an oem filter on the provided sandwich adapter...it came with a filter but i didnt think i needed it...i was wrong...the oem filter mouth was too small and i ended up scrubbing a couple of quarts of oil off the driveway...

what jon said. I went from the stainless line that my friend let me borrow that did not leak, to one that todd sent me. I'm going to be scrubbing my car for days. And its going to have the smell of burning oil for weeks. lol. I can't really blame anyone but myself for this mistake, don't fix crap if it ain't broken. I don't think my car is going to move until todd gets me a new spipe in my hands. I'm just tired of my chain of bad luck. I'm really contemplating selling this kit after only 100 miles. I just took the dp and intake off to clean my block. It actually wouldn't be hard at all for me to take the rest of the kit off. I'm sad I still haven't gotten to feel what boost is like. If todd doesn't get me a spipe soon, I may have to call it quits on this project and sell everything. I don't want to but i miss driving my car around.

I have the new downpipe, but i need a new spipe. Todd says it's "already at ups" but he has told me that before and I didn't see any parts the next week. Todd's shipping credibility is low, unless I have a tracking number.
Ace, do you still have the OEM J piece that came with your ptuning exaust that bolts to the mid pipe and S pipe? Mine was modified to vband-vband. I may have to borrow your pipes if I don't see mine soon. I start working pretty soon here and I need a car to drive. I really don't want to hassle you or anything though ace, and I'm not wanting to take the vband adapter plate that is already on my turbo. It was awful to put on. I'm running out of time and options.

yeah, i've been just running the downpipe only. I'll hit you up next week ace, i'll let you know if i need it. I'll get monies up your way if i do. Todd said i'll get my pipe on friday, so I can sit and wait and see if it makes it here.

welp. no s-pipe in the mail. looks like i'm going to have to look around for some shops that will be able to make a custom s pipe for me on monday.
I mean really Todd.... REALLLY? This has got to be a joke of some sort. I'm waiting for you to jump out and say "GOTCHA" or some crap like that. You are absolutely killing me.
