Power steering leak fixed. I re-routed both the feed and return hoses to the pump. Big improvement.



Cam phaser is working better. Not perfect. But better.
I spent most of Saturday afternoon tuning the boost controller. It works super well now. The controller now holds the wastegate closed until it's within 15% of the boost target then ramps it open. At the event today the boost response was incredible.

I took front sway bar out of the front to make it a little more free steady-state, and took a lot of rebound damping out of it. It definitely rotates a lot better on corner entry. Maybe a little too well, but I can take it back the other way.

I made a catch can for the rear diff. It caught maybe 1tsp of fluid at the event today, which is better than that 1tsp being on the rear subframe.

The car was freaking awesome today. I didn't drive super great, but pretty well. Definitely getting the thing dialed in. I got FTD (fastest time of the day) today but by index I was about a second off the top guy. I still feel good about where the car is.
