How's that strut tower rust? get that fixed?
Rust is taken care of, thanks to Mark.

LOL. If it walks it walks and I get a 6-bolt, if not, that's fine too.

Tell me about it. The lacking throttle response with the long route leaves a bit to be desired, but overall I'm happy with it. I'll get a new j-pipe and reroute it sometime soon.

They seem to transfer weight and plant the tires very well compared to stock on the street, so I'm hoping they can do the same at lower speeds in a more technical setting. The real test is going to be Marshalltown next season, I'm hoping to finally be able to beat Matt's Civic.

Yep. The car's running fine vented, but I'll only run it like that until the recirc fitting for the BOV arrives.

You might want to look into boost leaks or tunning. they did a long debate where they did all the math on the long route and with all the extra piping and it was only a fraction of a tenth of a second. nothing that could actually be felt. I have longer piping and a much larger FMIC then you and i dont have any problems with throttle response.
Glad to see the build though. Lets see bay and interior pics

Yeah, I agree with this. All I could do was laugh when a friend of mine, trying to get his g60 corrado to work, said that you needed some exact length of vacuum tube to make something work right. If it wasn't 3" or whatever, it would read wrong. The time it takes for a volume like that to become pressurized is so minuscule that you'd never notice.

Anyway, how could throttle response get worse with more air volume in the pipes unless the tune is goofy?
