vr calias
I've installed a sc14 on my vr calias. I was in a bit of a rush and I started it up without a waste gate. I blew out the rocker cover gaskets. I changed them and it seems like there's no power increase from the charger at all.
It seems to be leaking oil form the dip stick. But I'm not 100% sure. The oil light always comes in under boost.
Has any one had any problems like this under boost?
And what can I do to fix it??

Which hose? The vacum hose. I used the map senser vac line to run the waste gate. I didn't touch any hoses on the tb.

there is a 12mm or bigger hose from a barb under the TB and it goes down onto the manifold base block the TB end and leave the hose on the manifold open

really depends on your setup but a tune is a defenite to get any real benefit is it the stock pulley?
