it will make me think twice before doing anything again.
Well, intentions and reality don't always meet up. Remember that I brought my car in for the work to be done in early March! I thought it'd take maybe 3 weeks. I would have left the car the way it was if I'd known how this was going to turn out.

Managed to figure out the PLX gauge wiring today. Those guys don't make anything easy. Now I have to figure out how to get them to display what I want. The OBD module also goes out to lunch under heavy load. I need to call them tomorrow and see if there is a firmware update for that one.
I'm going to buy some vacuum line and re-do some of them tomorrow. I kinda butchered them up taping in at various places to see what the vacuum/boost readings are on various lines. Was curious...

OMFG. Everything on my car is working. I'm not sure what to do about this.
I'll get it over to Shane to have the tune checked. I have ordered a few small things in the last week: Torque Solutions driveshaft bushings, Beatrush rear diff mounts, and Racingline rear swaybar end links. It's nice to be down to smaller projects!
I'm going to go to the open house for that alignment place near MAP this weekend. I want an appointment for a corner balance.

FTFY?
He has my intake to get a prototype made from. It would actually just be another opportunity to drive the car :) Drive to DB, pick up intake from Dave's car, drive to Primo...Primo makes intake...Lomker installs intake at DB on Dyno next week...bam 450+! (conservatively speaking)

I just ordered the silicone connectors, filter, etc. When the MAF flange shows in a few weeks then I'll get Primo working on it.
I'm hoping for a final tune in August. The car is burning oil (presumably the turbo) but it makes power. <shrug>

Ah, right, forgot the MAF flange's were an issue.

This guy has the same afpr that I do. If do have to install it, I'll make a bracket to mount it in the same spot...the way he used some loops off of the fuel rail looks nice.
