It probably doesn't need to be retuned anyway. If anything, I'd say the race gas has affected the o2 sensor readings, so the trims are off. Put in some new plugs and unplug the o2 sensor and see how it runs. You have to remember that engines like yours are higher maintenance than basic builds.

It takes getting all the info you can before you do it. that way when you have everything ready you make sure not to encounter any unwanted surprises lol. It wont be so cheap unless your able to build everything your self or have someone that knows doing it for you. expect to spend at least 2k (custom setup)at first and then what comes from there. But all in all at the end its well worth it. and if you can make some cash out of ur sc setup then it comes in very handy. thats my advise
all though theres much more when it comes to the parts and how to etc
read as much info on these setups as you can. theres plenty of us here that can help with questions but you still need to gather ur info to have the main idea of how everything works

well he happens to work with a turbo LSJ owner... lol. Thatll make most aspects far easier and a ton of his parts are custom fab (lucky ******).
I agree with him though, even if its not for the sheer info but a turbo LSJ part of the forum would be nice. I know there isnt a lot of us but new threads instead of one long extended one will make things easier.
Mark, your running leaded race gas? unleaded shouldnt be hurting your O2 sensors, shell now makes unleaded all the way up to 116.
Import FaceOff Dallas is coming up, going to toss some 105 in it, crank up the timing and see what kind of 1/4mile times I can get, woot woot.
l8r,

roger serg.
and the reason for wanting the retune isn't for issues with the tune itself or problems. just that fact that it was tuned in michigan, and michigan isn't oklahoma lol.

you guys using the tial q have any issues with the 8psi spring.....zzps site said this is what you need, mine is fine driving never hear compressor surge like i did with my greddy rs, it's at idle it stays open, now it doesn't idle horrible or anything because of it, not perfect but liveable. just wanna know if anyone has the same issue....interceptor is reading -20,-21 inhg which according to tials chart should be 11psi spring?

i do have the 11psi spring i just never swapped it to see if it made a difference or not
by the way i am now catless and the car runs like a champ

so yours just stays wide open during idle too still haha i just found your old thread..i think ima order the pink one and swap it in see what it does cause yea my cars always idled 20/21 vacuum thought it was weird that zzps site said get the 8lb spring for lsj but yea i dont think it hurts anything cause it blows off cleanly under all boost conditions. just stays open all idle which it shouldn't. idles bout 900-1k still a lil jumpy cause its not done tuning on mine.
cool cool maybe ur cat was clogged haha.

welp that's enough for me haha like i said it seems to be doing its job perfectly haven't heard any bit of flutter at any type of boost level wot or just 6psi normal driving just wasn't sure how normal or detrimental it could be to have it open at idle. it is way before the maf on my piping so i guess i'll just let well enough alone.

yay for blow by......
went to drain my catch can today just incase of a freeze, didn't want it to break open. well, i didn't expect THIS much.
so after seeing that i decided to take a look at the fitting and found condensed oil/water
so tomorrow i'll be rerouting the lines. having the stock pcv nipple go back to the intake and plugging that port on the can, right now i have both lines going to the can. but hopefully having that vacuum from the intake pulling some of that pressure out of the crankcase will help all that condensation. but still. thats a **** ton of blow by for only having this can on for 22 days.

that's ******* scary dude. I talked to the dudes at Modern Performance about my idea for revising my breather (basically like your, except a line from the can to the intake, if that's possible). Dude said not likely a good idea since you'd have two exits competing for the same vacuum. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that you have two means of escape for crankcase pressure???

no you don't ever want to run a line from the can to the intake lol. not on a MAF car
pictures make it scarier than it really is. that gunk will only be on the top of the engine and condense when its cooled off. during driving conditions when the engine is warm it won't look like that, all the water in the mixure will get dissipated and/or pushed into the can. even on a perfectly running engine this can happen. if i had another DD and this was just a weekend drag car like i originally planned before being layed off, it wouldn't be that big of an issue.

if that doesn't work, then time to get a spare valvecover and do some work

So you're going to run a small line from the back of the valve cover to the intake... I would be scared of sucking oil and detonating due to oil lowering your octane level. I'm still rocking the breather cap and making a big mess 
I've had a catch can forever, but never found out enough info on how to properly set it up on a turbo lsj.
