No need. The gauge on the dash is a dummy. They're all off. Alot.

Been out driving today. Looks like my engine side of the turbo drain is leaking damnit. Maybe next week I'll pull the turbo again and fix it.
What's normal haha? Is your dash accurate? Glad it worked though!

Sucks, wouldn't it be nice if everything just went as it should?

Here is a little colder start this morning. 26 degrees, been sitting for 12 hours. My tunes are setup to idle up to 1000 rpm depending on coolant temp. Fired right up with a little bit of smoke. I think it will be grumpy trying to start down in to the teens. Luckily it doesn't usually drop that cold here.

Got my new tunes just barely. She rips! It's as big as I wanted to go with these 30's. I didn't want to risk spraying outside of the oval bowls to much. Still have a few more break in miles before i can really let it eat...that is today's task. Head out around noon and put the rest of the miles on, change the oil then go have some fun.
The builder said 500 miles then change the oil and then I'm good. I'm at about 330 miles right now...I've gotten on it a few times but haven't held it for more than a few seconds.
I need to get over the old stock motor..I keep thinking I'm going to throw a rod, and then I remember..not anymore
