I haven't gotten a chance to get back home yet, I will be coming back next week, getting in on Sat. What I plan on doing is testing to make sure some dumbass (not mentioning names) messed up the polarity on the pumps, which would definitely explain the smoking. Hope that's it though, easy fix. I will update next week after I check it out. Leakdown test will not do a thing right now anyways though, it only has about 1 mile on it. I talked to the guy who built the motor and he reassured me of his work and that he guarantees it so thats good to hear just in case.

Well, one of the pumps was wired backwards so once we switched that back we started her up and bam... no oil smoking out the back. I was so happy to smell normal exhaust fumes rather than burning oil. Since we switched everything up so that the two return lines for the turbos are independant of each other, I will just keep it that way with two identical pumps on each side. Well, as soon as I get a dyno time scheduled for her I will be posting up some #'s. Thanks guys!

I'll give him a call and let him know my situation. The car is in Danville, IL right now and if the guy that built the car dicks around too much, then I will see what this guy has to offer. They are both about the same distance... the guy that built it is in Peoria.
