Well the drain line still uses a flange, so the stock one should still bolt up. Ill have to swap the fitting from the thermostat housing as this has the line threaded directly into it. If I can get that fitting, and as long as the oil supply line is still the same thread and I can put the banjo bolt back in it should work. I was pretty doubtful I would be able to run it now but, it would save me some work and I wasnt sure. No harm in asking, and Luis I have my ct from the other motor sitting on a shelf but thanks for offering. If you want to help me put the motor in though that would be a big help, should be able to get it in the next time I go home.

Doesn't fuel cut hold off until about 12LBS on the stock AFM? Could you restrict that turbo down to 12LBS by using a silencer in your exhaust, or possibly using a stock exhaust altogether. Please excuse my ignorance on this issue, as I have a very limited turbo knowledge, and don't know a thing about the boss itself. I'm just trying to help with a different way of thinking.

Fuel cut isn't boost related, it's flow related.

The BOSS turbo will flow a lot more air at 12 lbs than the stock CT26, therefore fuel cut comes on at much lower manifold pressure.

yep, even at 8 psi on the boss I would worry about fuel cut, I just didnt know how far I could turn the boost down. So the CT goes back on next time im home in spokane. Ill build another 7M just for the boss, and pick up a shell after Im done with my car.:naughty:

Go to Centrailia without boost? Thats like going to a Singapore whore house without a condom.
