I Have a watter pump oil leak not good Leaking out the weep hole.

Well after many attempts i got the electric pump installed, seems the coolant flow was reverse from what i thought. it's installed in the bypass hose going from the original pump housing to the thermostat housing pushing the coolant towards the thermostat housing. No leaks, new oil pressure sensor is in and no more leaks from that. Did a 250 mile ride yesterday and temp gauge was at 1 bar while on the highway and peaked at 2 bars. In traffic and while idle at red lights i hit 5 bars. Was 81 degrees out, radiator fan hardly was on, oil no longer bubbly or boiling. With the cat gutted and my modified intake along with a custom map for the juice box all i can say is wow.
