Time attack beetle

[Humble]

I'm running 1/2" lines on each valve cover and the oil filler neck. There's also a 1" vent/filter on the top of the oil tank as well.

I know the dry sump pump isn't strong enough to pull a vacuum but it seems like there is excessive crank case pressure to me. I thought it might be that the rings haven't seated yet as there is only 2 hours of dyno time on this motor, but it should be dry from the get go.

I agree. Still my rings only seemed to have seated this season as I now have 1 full bar more cylinder pressure on cranking. Maybe not the best comparison, but just saying yours rings not really seating yet would be my best bet as well with just 2 hours run time.
And still, just a few psi boost should be possible without leaking on seals that badly..
Keep the spirit! even though this is frustrating as h*ll.

Any updates?

weather and side jobs have kept me from working on the bug unfortunately, but hopefully that will turn around in the next week or so. I have a little bit of cash and I'd like to get the car back to the dyno.
