Well my battery was dead after sitting there so i charged it up. Im smokin from the engine bay which im guessing is normal due to the new exh manifold and oil and the likes. A little came out of the tailpipe. The one thing that scared me was the car died after idling for a little but i think it was because the battery was not charged enough before we took it off. Is this all normal?

Update the battery dies nonstop..its at zero. When we take the jumpers off the car cant stay alive on its own. Were gonna try a battery charger and if that doesnt work a new battery. Any other things it could be?

Well i officially hate autozone..LOL. I am going to try Napa hopefully theyll have a fuse. When i called Autozone the guy was like yea theres no such thing as that fuse. I explained it to him and hes like ohhhhhhhh...lemme check. And then of course he didnt have it. Any other places where you think they'd have them?

You may want to just show up at Autozone with the blown fuse and ask for one like it. It might be special, but I'd suspect that it's a common fuse design for many makes and models. Worth a try.
 
Well i got the fuse and the car is up and runnin good. I have it at 10psi right now and it holds strong all the way to redline. It feels faster than my t25 at 15psi.:thumb:

One more question? I still have a little smoke come out of the back of my tailpipe. Is this normal? Im gonna double check and make sure im not leaking any oil from my new line. Also the cars really hot after driving but i think its just some oil being burnt off of the manifold and other parts.
 
When I installed my 50 trim, yes there was some smoke, I was a bit nervous, but yea it was just oil and stuff being burned off. If it keeps on smoking for a while, then I would be a lil worried, and double check everything.
