Yeah a few... My Alt-map switch finally came in so I hope to get that installed this weekend along with my new TB shaft seals that I ordered from Mil Spec. Also, Mellon and I are planning to head to the track Friday night if the weather holds up. Looking forward to a 9 second pass out of his evo and an 11 second pass out of mine 
Wish us luck!

Haven't touched my BOV. Boost is falling to 20-21 psi by redline. Hope the shaft seals will help some. I know when we boost leak test they leak bad at 14psi I can only imagine how bad they are leaking at 28. APS twin vent might be necessary soon.

Well since the last update I've been to the track twice. On e85 I ran a best e.t. of 11.91 and a best mph of 114 out of 3 runs. Went to the track this past Friday and ran a 12.33 @ 109 on 93 oct. We also replaced my TB shaft seals... It was my only leak! Mellon and I were both amazed at how well its sealed up now. We still need to see if its affected the tune... Should get around to that soon.
