I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Boost leak testing at my buddy's house
We both were working on our cars together so I snapped a few pics:

Ahh... thanks. It is my gf's camera so i never took the time to learn all the settings and stuff.
And yes I found a big leak from my LICP to turbo connection. Put on a new gasket and some RTV and now everything seems fine. My buddy had a big leak in his intake mani and now is getting a sheetmetal one. Something to do with a mod to his traction control that cause the leak I guess.
BTW my car made 330whp on 93 octane with my boost leak and his car made 857whp with no leaks and C16. Crazy, haha!

Sorry these pics suck ass. His car is very clean. 17" CCWs in the rear and 16s up front. How many Supras run that? He also has a fully build motor and some huge Greddy turbo. I want to say 67 trim but not totally sure. Maybe it is 76? whatever. As far as my car goes, well I think I got the leaks fixed so hopefully I am making well over that 330whp. But at any rate the car makes 333lb-ft at the wheels and that feels damn good. I am sticking with the stock turbo for a good while as I plan to get more into auto-x and open track days at Summit Point instead of hanging around the drag strip. I mean it's an EVO, I bought it for handling not straight line acceleration.
