These darn upgrades are addicting!

No leaks and everything went pretty well considering everything. Still getting that antifreeze smell as I spilled alittle when draining everything and couldn't get it all cleaned up.

Joker, tell me about the new tune. Who did it? What tune did you have before?

I had the stock FRPP TVS tune. I upgraded to the EVO stage 1 TVS tune on the SCT 3. It felt like a ton of difference between the 2 tunes. I have no real data, just seat of the pants. Seems like it has more boost now and it comes on alot harder and lower in the RPM range. On my SAI gages I was pulling almost 15 pounds of boost now. I don't know if that makes sense or not but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Yea I still have the DS to do and maybe pullies down the road with some other stuff. But I'm basically done for the next 6 months or so

I also plan on data logging my car while I'm at CS86 to show some numbers on the TVS with Van's equipment. I'm sure Birdman will love those numbers as I don't think anyone has done the TVS datalogging with this radiator and heat exchanger.

Sure go ahead and post all you want. All things take time. I did some datalogging on mine (b4 the HE) for Jon. Don't know how it turned out. He's got all that now. But will be doing another session with him to re-tune shortly.

Cool. I still have to download them. One interesting thing I found out was that I only had 3 of the 4 front bumper bolts from the factory!

The fuse blocks on my wiring harness were not centered. I had to move the tabs of the fuses alittle to line them up. Not a big deal but something to watch out for.

I could not get mine to line up at that angle. I had to bend the legs slightly.

This is were I mounted the relays and wire loomed as much as I could.
