She is currently running as well as she ever has. Starting has always been = a problem but is doing so great right now. As a matter of fact I feel kinda= giddy shutting her down and the immediately starting her again just cuz I = can.

I am keeping her below about 4500 rpm (I need to run just under 4500 to get= the map to 22 to set Mode 3) to allow the new apex seals time to set. Rese= t the Hobbs too.

I replaced the 3 lb wastegate spring with the weakest one I have; a 1.5 lb = spring.

So, should I be offended that someone else found a failure mode with a clog= ged exhaust??? I was beginning to think I had a monopoly. I will gladly pas= s the torch.
