thanks man.
not much doing, check line pressure in park/reverse/nuetral/D4/D4+thottle. park (i dont think matters) but was like 200/ reverse 175/ neutral 150/ D4 110/ D4+throttle 200. rough readings using cheap gauge, just wanted to see if i had any outrageous numbers. a little higher than "stock" numbers but figured thats to be expected for built trans and i should be able to soften in the tune hopefully
i ordered a catch can from mightymouse. their pcv can supposed to be able to handle boost and keep pcv somewhat functional. was going to do a two can set up but figured i would try the single pcv can first (two can set up would use the pcv can and a race can)
driveshaft, prob another week till its done and here at least.
charge pipes - i ordered some pieces, kind of want to weld them up instead of having a handful of silicone couplers holding everything together. just silicone at the ends where a little flex is required
You should check out Elite Engineering’s catch cans. Their E2 is designed for forced induction and has 2 inlets, comes with high flow check valves and can be combined with a Clean Side Separator. It’s what I’m running and it’s the best catch can I’ve ever seen. It’s pricey but that fits right in with your build.

i dont know if those would work for me, the "chamber 1" would be connected to valve cover. chamber 3s would go to intake with check valves. under boost check valves close but i still need to vent crank case pressure under boost when venting is needed most

this is what i got coming, it should do what i need it to. under vacuum it works like a pcv system, under boost its supposed to vent to atmosphere. i really dont have a "clean" side it would have to go between air filter and turbo.

The first intake that goes to the valve cover works normally when you’re not under boost but under boost your vacuum turns into positive pressure and that’s when that check valve closes so you don’t get boost blowing up your catch can. The second intake goes to the air intake before the snail and provides vacuum for the catch can under boost and that check valve operates the opposite way. Whichever intake to the catch can has more vacuum is the one that opens and the other one closes. You get vacuum for the catch can under both conditions and boost doesn’t mess it up. You don’t need a CSS in your situation.

Mighty mouse catch can showed up, easy install, i ordered it with brake booster mounting bracket and billet clamp. This is their pcv can, packed full of shrapnel . uses a "valve" of sorts and a disc in the filter to suck back to intake (regulated cause 8an is way to big to recirc back into intake) , under boost the intake hose blocks off and the disc in the filter allows it to breath to atmosphere

Kind of hard to see inside filter but you get the idea. i ordered it with a 12an "in" fitting might plumb both valve covers together into it but, all i had was 10an hose and fittings so i just threw one into it in the mean time.

And tuning was going kind of crappy...about ready to throw in the towel, talked with Atomic f&p about tuning me out of the hole. Went out to check everything mechanical one more time...... and found a cracked plug
