My Winter Upgrades

Agreed brownman...

I got my intake where you do Brandon, except my MAS is still under the hood, do you not have room to fit it in?

Looking good though, glad to see you are getting it done your self.

I have no concerns with it there. It was there all last year with no issues. If you're concerns are it getting wet, then feel comforted in knowing this car rarely sees rain. But even in rain, I'm still not concerned.
The plan is later on when V3 of DSMLink comes out, I want to switch to speed density so the MAS will be eliminated completely, and the filter will just be on the end of the pipe.

LMAO V3, lol.

Thats cool then man, if you tested it out then no worries.
But for me i like being able to shorten the intake in the winter into the engine bay then in the SMIC location for summer.

There are a lot more BW setups coming out.

What up fool.
I found a TB today, car looks good, however i am a little worried about the position of the MAS sensor in the wheel well i am not sure how much that thing is gonna like rain.

Exactly what I was worrying about. Are you going to protect it in any way at all? Maybe a plastic shield? Or some aluminum at least?

F it, it doesn't rain in Minnesota...

I have had my filter out there for years and BR sells an intake like that too.

Get over it. If you don't like it, don't run one. Next topic.

Jet, get my exhaust done :) !!

I just got my talon hauled over to my house yesterday. I should have yours over in a couple weeks. I am going to try and get all the tools moved downstairs this weekend, then I have to run some heavy duty wiring down for the welders. She'll be looking pretty when you get home, when are you coming back?

I was talking about the MAS not the filter.

Anywho, B man said about a month. I can't wait to see your car in action B.

I'm thinking around May 1-7 anytime in that range, is when I'll be home. Let me know when you get started on her! Maybe I'll give you a ring from Spain here to make sure we both kind of know exactly what we want to do with it.

I'm also now considering purchasing the smaller comp cover for my 362. I'm guessing it'll negatively affect performance a little bit, but for me I think it'll be a good compromise to help things fit a little bit better than they do with this larger cover. I haven't purchased it yet, but highly considering it. I don't think the smaller cover is neccessarily "small", I think it's still decently sized so I think it will still perform well. Anyone have any good input on this? I'm wondering if the smaller cover is still similar in size to say the cover that comes on FP's 35R's, but not sure.
