The OP is rich...So the more money he has the more stuff he can buy and surpass us all. I wish I was a site owner...lol

Yeah, MitsuStyle is such a huge revenue generating machine. Enjoy your week vacation :)

Wow, maybe an extended ban is in order for such a stupid comment. FYI I make ZERO off of the site, any money that is made sits in a moneymarket account and is then used as prizes at dyno days. I do not take money from this fund to even fund the hosting of this site, I donate the bandwidth, disk space, server, etc as well as countless hours of my time to keep it going and keep improving it.

With that said, this project exists solely because I have done it all myself, if I had to pay someone else to install this it would not happen, like many of the other mods on my car.

Now, BACK ON TOPIC (damn you Defiant!)

Last night I finished the wiring around midnight. I was at a wedding rehearsal and now I'm off to the wedding, but I managed to get in some testing!

Spraying on the windshield just to make sure all is dandy. My BSP tap should be here today, so tomorrow AM I'll yank the UICP, drill the hole, tap it, and install the jet adapter. :D :D :D :D

Scheides, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that you most likely have a well paying job and you're just a hard worker bro.

Don't let some fool get to you.

Probably less than an Evo 9 with 3 or 4 mods. :)

Finished up the basic install today!

I have my UICP back in the car with the Aquamist jet adapter installed. BSP tap worked perfectly with the 11/32 bit. A good bit of blue threadlock on it and it should hold boost.

The car drives like a DREAM! Switched back to my old 26psi alky map from my SMC kit and the car freaking hauls ass now. Needs a tune though, there are some definite weird spots and I want to see what a few more psi does. I also need to get a solid pump gas tune, then the car will be all set for the tephra map switching hack!

1mm nozzle installed and ready to rock! Note the damage leftover from my SMC nozzle gone wrong....

Power lead with fuse right as it leaves the battery:

The only pic I'm missing now is one of the huge-ass smile on my face! This kit has been a good job to install but it is worth every penny and every minute I took to do it right. My only fear now is that I won't go back and finish the little things I still have left: a permanent mount for the DDS gauge, extend the length of the power wire a bit, wrap up the last bit (about a foot) of alky hose going into the UICP so its protected and cleaner (i.e. wrapped in black), tap into the dimmer, and then need to secure the dds junction box somewhere once I get the trigger dialed in. I have it set to start around 15psi now, I'd like it to be just a tad higher. I'm sure I'll find time for these little things in the next few days. I'm too close now to give up :)

I also got my set of off-brand krank vents from Kracka today, I will post more on these once I've tried them out more, but they will go with my new catch can nicely! PM for more info on those.
