I've hardly done anything at all with my car this year, it sucks. Still many things to tweak and fix up before it can safely/reliably be run hard. Just been driving it around like a regular car, but with a decent bit of boost here and there.

When my friend had his 240 with the sr20det swap, he used 2 pair of vice grips. It stopped loosening up and blowing gaskets. He even tack weld the bolts and they still came off.
