Default F-MAX install problems........

OK installed F-MAX kit, with OUT the headgasket that comes with the kit. Turbo boosted 7lbs. After that hour of driving, it starts smoking like CRAZY white, crazy positive crankcase pressure blowing out of the valve cover. Wierd thing was that white smoke didnt smell like coolant. So let it sit for a month, just finished up the headgasket install. with arp headstuds, new timing belt, waterpump etc.

KNOW, I had no alternator hooked up at this time. Started the car with friends older styler RS AWD suburu with his altima battery. The integra ran for about a minute with no problems then all of a sudden it turned off. Is this a voltage problem or what? It would crank and crank and crank with no luck.

Also- tial wastegate, is that suppose to be on its side or straight up. (the shiny housing with the spring is what i meant by on side or up.)

Thanks

The wastegate is installed so that the plunger seals the hole in the flange on the manifold.
