[s-cars] Vacuum leak

[Cory Pio]

The breaking the rods in my motor was put in there kind of jokingly  
but my plans to run a a holset turbo that is just as good as much more  
expensive turbos is pretty much the plan. I'm pretty sure building a  
good flowing manifold with a standard t3 giving me a wide variety of  
turbo options is not too crazy of an idea either. If you don't believe  
me that a journal bearing turbo spools just as fast as a bb turbo than  
idk. Check out some 7blade hx35 turbo compressor maps and get back to  
me pretty much gt30r for 250 bucks some say there better from a cost/ 
efficency kinda deal. I def heard your advice and she will be running  
well soon because of your guys tips and a vacuum system diagram.  
Thanks again

Take it easy
