I got the car out on the road today on stock injectors and wastgate pressure . Over all everything seams to be working good. I still need to do a boost leak check since spool seams a little slow and boostest in link is about 5psi high. So I'll probly pick up a 2.25" cap for the turbo this week and do that before I do mutch else. Full line pressure shifts are working good. wideband and gauge are functioning like they should. car is running pig rich on stock maps right now so the car feels prety slow compaired to what I'm used to but already better then the t25 with ALOT left in it.
Injectors , E85 and 30PSI to come.

Awesome!!
It is awesome. Even at wastgate pressure the car is fun to drive.
I did a boost leak test after work and found and fixed alot of leaks. Aparently some of the T-bolt clamps I got with the FMIC were to big for the pipeing. I knew they were all the way tight but I thiought they would seal. I thought wrong. I had 3 leaks at couplers. Got those fixed alog with a new O-ring on the biss screw. I think it should be alot better now. I dont know If I'll get the car out for a test run tonight or not.

I took the car to run a few erands this afternoon. The car drives amazing. idles dead on no surge very good street manors. I did a few WOT pulls at wastgate pressure and the car pulls pretty good and shifts firm. I did notice that the car needed to be completly floored to downshift and that the loged TPS in link was only around 90%. so when I got home I adjusted the TPS per dsmlink directions and I now get a true 100% TPS now so hopefully it wil kick down a little easer now. The stock injectors are completly maxed even at wastgate pressure so I will be picking up some 1000cc or bigger injectors and adding some E85 soon.

I'm sure I'll be out that way. Aarons always trying to get me out there too. I think this car will do more cruising then the old one.
I always forget to add to my other updateds that the AC blows Ice cold too. A must have for a black car with leather interior.
