My vacuum lines are not even hooked up to the wastegates. I still get boost spikes of nothing more than maybe 6.8 psi. I also cant say that i feel "safe" with the greddy kit. I do beat the hell out of mine as well and it has held up. But again this is my second engine(decided not to go forged because it would cost too much and new engine was a cheaper option).

Wow, I would have settled for that! You're in luck, you will have a built motor and you don't have to buy a block like me. heh

Yeah I know....nothing like yours! Like you said though, it will come back better and stronger. Unfortunately for me, I don't have another 400hp back up to drive me to work like you do. I have to car pool with the wife
