Well got it all back together. it was a pain in the ass today seemed like nothing wanted to be nice. couldn't get the cat back attached and got tired of trying so ripped it off. So I was already frustrated. Took it out for a short test drive, and now it wont idle down when I push in the clutch. So I called it quits.

Taking a break when things start getting frustrating is a good idea. Glad you got it figured out man.

Did the idle switch get unplugged?

Well some good news. I think the computer just needed to learn how to idle. Its running good. Now I dont know if I want to run strate 3" out the back or put the muffler back on.

Car seems to be running strong. The only issue I am having is it's still running worm on the highway. I am guessing I need some sort of air dam to force air into the radiator. Or find a way to make more negative pressure behind the radiator.

I set up a tune date for the 29th of this month so I am hoping the new turbo will make it here in time to install.

Get some of that becool radiator treatment. I had a car that ran warm and after I put that in it ran at less 10 degrees cooler

I don't have a aftermarket temp gauge so its hard to tell off the stock one. But at idle it sits right in the middle. And on the highway it sits at the top of the flag. Ill have to have shane tell me what it is running at on the dyno.

Maybe you need to burp the cooling system

Tried that today by letting it run for about 15 min with the radiator cap off. Got a few small bubbles out of it but nothing crazy. drove it for about a half hour and it still runs around the same temp. I am going to just wait till Shane hooks up the computer and gets a temp reading instead of guessing on the stock gauge.
