i took it out for the maiden voyage tonight, after spending all day fixing oil leaks, which turned out to be the golden eagle sandwhich apater plate i was using for my turbo oil feed. So i called Golden Eagles tech support and all they said is that i'd have to send it back to them in california so they can check it out, and of course i'd have to wait 3-5 weeks to get it back....useless. So i ditched the GE crapwhich adapter and used the ole tee in the back of the block, eventually, i'll most likely run a line to the tee which will be mounted on the firewall with the stock oil pressure sensor and turbo oil feed line teed off it, maybe with a nice oil cooler too, but i'm just talkin sauce here...lol.
I also got the downpipe fitted to my exhaust at A&A exhaust here in hamilton, they're great guys that i keep going to for all my exhaust needs, wicked prices too.
For only running 5-6 psi i have to say it skoots pretty good, i need to bring the spark plug gap down a little bit though, i'm still running the stock spark plug gap on my BKR7E's (.044"). I'm gunna start with .035" and go from there.
I'm still using the stock (12 year old) single core rad with a FAL slim fan, thats wired up to come on all the time, and even after boostin around i didn't log a coolant temp higher than 205 degrees.
All in all, i'm pretty satisfied with how it runs, considering all i did was a quick 30 minute street tune....i can't wait to get it on the dyno.

i've used the GE crapwhich adapter before too without any problems. No matter what i did, the stupid thing kept leaking, didn't leak with just an oil filter on the block, so its not a problem with the block.
I'm prolly just gunna stick with a tee, but run a SS line from the block to a tee thats mounted on the firewall.
