Still running breathers I see....looks good no doubt!
How's the smell running open breathers? Does the smell get into the interior ? Couldn't stand the crankcase smell with the old foxes. I know it's an odd question but this is one of the mistakes i don't want to repeat.

Made a track visit to our local 1/8th mile yesterday. Car ran great, only a very minor tune revision required on the 2-3 shift, very smooth, and stuck to the track. It's very predictable, not a shit your pants ride. Car was 100% full with 93 octane, nothing removed from the car for weight reduction. It's a glass roof, NAV, Recaro, premium stereo car weighing 39xx with me in it. No boost controller, using 8 PSI springs in both wastegates. Next mods are dual electric cutouts on the midpipe to release back pressure for more power at the wheels, two step, and 6R80 electronic transbrake for 60' reduction. Won't be happy till this car runs 6.4 @ 110+ or better in the 1/8th. That's high 9's in the 1/4 mile the way this car back halves.

Honestly, I never smell it. However, they are only temporary until I get the Bob's oil separators lined out for the install. That requires some custom length hoses compared to a normal install.

Autos are consistent, love it!

The tuner identified my car was hitting the rev limiter on the 2-3 shift, making it sloppy. He sent a revision, with other minor changes. Testing again either this Sunday, or the next. Depend on when I get the new Turbo-Guard screens for my turbos at the track. The car gained 2 mph and .15 at the trap by removing both air filters. I want to capitalize on that next time, without the fear of large objects destroying the compressor wheel.

Installed turbo blankets recently.

Bought two more 19x11" Forgestar CF10 wheels to match what I already have, and so it's a perfect fit for Nitto NT05R 305/35/19 tires.

This is what my car looked like with semi concave 19x9 255/45/19 (front) and deep concave 19x10 295/35/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The 19x11 with Nitto tires looks exactly the same, adding to street stealth.

Tech tip of the day. Don't have a blonde moment like I did. Forgetting to reinstall this check valve will allow boost to pressurize the brake booster, making it impossible to brake when in boost. You have to wait a few seconds after releasing the go pedal for vacuum to return without this check valve.

Will get videos asap.

Don't know why I waited so long to install this. Bob's differential catch can. Very tired of gear oil spitting out of the axle vent, coating the axle and driver side exhaust pipe.

Also about to install oval exhaust cutouts to increase exhaust flow while racing.
