@Cezar1113 You will be missed!

Yes still DI and PI. Keeping the DI for MPG b/c fucking send it on the daily right? @AYOUSTIN - I think they go by ATP now - Advanced Thermal Products. I've already given them a ring. Gonna see how it fairs first before sending a one-off manifold across the country to potentially get lost. I...

hopefully the motec will assist with traction. At least from what I've been told. I've got my fingers crossed. If not I'm going to go with the largest slick I can and daily the fuck out of it. Also setup is likely to change a little. The maf is likely gonna get axed so no more intake required...

Things are in full swing at the shop that's doing the work on my car. At the amount of work going into this car and what its costing I believe I'm going to be stuck with this thing for life. Hard parts are at calico coatings as we speak getting coated. Should be done in a few weeks. Intake...

car is back at the shop to be completed. Letting another shop do this. Big plans. If all plays out I'll be doing a motec stand alone. All boost/vacuum/misc will all be AN lines. Not a stone going unturned. Shop expects it to be done by March'ish given how much work has to be done. Going to be...

No room for a crashbar at all. I'd have to remove the bumper. The fmic pretty much doubles as a crash bar. It's physically supporting the bumper anyways. So gold foil intake or nah?

I found a filter locally. I just need to find an aem or K&N the same size. Now that I know the dimensions that will definitely work shouldn't be too hard.

I got the car back. There's so many little things to get done that will impact whether the car turns into a rolling fireball or not it has me completely overwhelmed. So, with that said, fuck it. It's going back to another shop. I just don't have the time I did before to put towards it. It's...

Heat management plan is taking form. I got a DEI turbo blanket enroute a long with some wrap. Turbo manifold is going to be inconel coated and likely some inconel shielding for the fuse box. I thought about inconel shielding on the downpipe but I don't think that is needed nor does the room...

Not with proper heat management

slowly but surely she's turning out pretty nicely.

a few updates: Scratched blow-thru. Just not enough straight sections of piping to get it done with 3in pipes. Intake still needs to be made still a lot of small things to do minus the fueling system before its able to be cranked. Most notably wiring, oil and water lines for the turbo, and...

well Justin's was a meth explosion from what I gather. Granted it would have held up better either 1) the plate didn't exist or 2) it was welded shut. I'll see how it goes either way. I kinda dig the look of the cast and the design, and cast from my experience doesn't get as hot. My JMF got...

I'll have a backup with the 16w fab manifold. I really think if it leaks it'll be fixed with some RTV. Also, there's another guy running near 40psi and not having any issues. Give it a whirl. You know IDGAF about getting something to just see how it is ha.

Been waiting for a manifold from 16w. Decided I'll save that for later. Alls needed is a new cold pipe if I decide to continue down that path in the future. For now. Nate at Newage Autoparts came in clutch and got me a CPE manifold on the quicks. I'll be dropping this off so the fabrication...

Welp that works better.

pretty simple. To use another MAF designed for blow-through application. Without IAT calibration or tables it makes it nearly impossible to do unless by chance the IAT on the new maf is within spec of the OEM IAT sensor. I don't need to modify IAT for fueling, etc. I just need it to work within...

I have put some thought into that but going to see how it all plays together first. And yeah that's a turbosmart bov. I still have the oe BorgWarner one though.

May go with a traditional fmic. Mocking one up it looks. More to come. Vanjen and 3 inch tubing for fmic tho.

Keep in mind the downpipe is not in the final resting spot. It's just orientated like that until the ewg is attached and dump is fabricated. I'm sure it's going to be canted a few degrees away from the strut tower. Plus i plan on purchasing a lot of heat shielding. I plan on wrapping the...
