Tried to start it today and it just kept cranking. Apparently my boost-a-spark decided to die during it's 7 month break. Once we bypassed that, it fired right up. It was high idling great for warm up, then we noticed an oil leak under the car and we shut it down. Apparently when I put the fitting in the oil cooler to feed the turbos oil, I over tightened it and cracked the housing. Whoops. I guess I will be ordering it on Monday, and hopefully it will be here by Wednesday.

Actually, here's the pic.
That's that 10th Ann. that Hellion put the compound boost on.

I heard it was for sale for like $65K

That's a pretty ridiculous price if it's true. There are 2 built motor TT cars on SVTperformance right now in NC for mid to upper $20k's.

That was the general consensus on SVT.

They just want that much because it was "that Cobra."

It's running now, but when we first started it saturday, the oil return pump was running backwards so it pushed some oil into the turbos. I'm gonna clean them out tonight and make sure that the only problem. If all is good, then I will be getting a tune as soon as my tuner is available.

Took the turbos off and cleaned them out tonight. There was a decent amount in the drivers side turbo, inlet tube, and wastegate.
Put it all together again and let it idle for about 20 minutes. The idle was kinda confused since it still has the KB and 60# injector tune.

Heres a crappy cell video just to prove it runs! haha
