Any pointers post-blown turbo to get the oil out of the exhaust?! This is embarrasing

NOW you're talking. Criminey (sp?), finally...
With Hap's turbo you are going to need/want an IC and probably a free-er pre-turbo intake.
I keep thinking that an air-to-water (ATW) IC and WI might be the way to go. The ATW IC's have like zero pressure loss, can be put anywhere, and a radiator can easily fit in the bumper w/o cutting. They don't cool as well as a BAFMIC (Big FMIC), but with WI it won't matter. There MIGHT be a weight penalty vs. a big FMIC, but I doubt it will be alot. Big FMIC's weigh ALOT.
RayT's intake setup is nice (the whole setup is incredible IMHO), or you can go the Hap route as well. Either seems great.
If i was going to keep my car I was thinking either Euro bumper ala RayT, or ATWIC. WI in any event...<ul><li><a href="http://gallery.s-cars.org/album01">RayT's Gallery</a></li></ul>

Let us know the results...
as I was surprised to hear that solved Marc's issue, but sounds like it may be yours too. Also if that solves it you can go out and really find out what the turbo can do

Me too. I looked at the GT30R dynograph, and it looked laggy compared...
to the RS2. 1000 rpm more lag than the RS2. I'd think the GT35R would be significantly laggier (is that a word?). But if anyone can figure this out, Hap can...
Also, Hap and company do track their cars, so more power in the upper range is warranted, as opposed to less lag. In any event, we've all got to admit that a GT35R on YOUR car (my car, etc.) sounds fun.

Ok..results so far:
Moving WGFV to be directly on the Intake hose gained me about 1-2 PSI...bummer
Tightening the Screw on the Wastegate 5 turns w/ a stiffer spring also gained me about 3-4 PSI...so I am near 20 PSI now.
Should I continue to tighten it or does this mean there is some other issue?
Thx

Just for testing, you can just pop the hose off that barb of the WGFV
That way it just vents to the atmosphere - no restriction. Obviously, this would be for testing only, as you will be creating a vacuum leak, but it might be easier than re-doing all your plumbing.

Yep. I'd limit it to 22psi
Try to get your hands on a low boost chip and throw the car on the dyno and see if it makes any more power on 26-30psi on pump gas. I bet it doesn't. I had boost cranked on my car, threw it on the dyno and it didn't make any more power on high boost without higher octane or methanol/water injection from 22psi to 28psi. It only made it more prone to detonation by increasing cylinder pressure.
