Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project

gotta let it warm up a little bit. remember you dont have a choke anymore. the bov is held shut by boost pressure and opened by vacuum. it should be pretty easy to open by hand. if you put your hand in front of the opening and rev it quickly enough to hear some turbo noise and let off quickly you should feel something. at the lower boost pressure it will not make much noise. adjust your boost controller to get it to read 5psi. its pretty hard to blow a motor on 5psi unless it is getting next to no fuel while on boost. fwiw i did this with my setup with full 35* of timing and an afr of 13 at wot and 5psi. did not blow my motor and it pulled harder then it did once i locked the distributor and turned it up to 8psi. so with locked timing and a richer mix you should be fine.

the boost/vacuum gauge plugged into the manifold not reading vacuum is weird. i would pull the line from the manifold and suck on it. i tested mine that way and could pull -3 psi without popping a blood vessel. just make sure it moves.
