Do you want to let out any specs on the set up besides a full T4 turbo, 3"ic pipes, Maft, big fmic, ramhorn style header, etc? How do vent your bov with out problems?jk

Looking good!

I am curious about the BOV placement too, shouldn't it be before the MAFT?

santa · 08-14-2007

Idk haven't tried it yet. I can always move it. I didnt really think about it lol. Its still the 2.4L crower 415 cams, header?? idk was a t3 made by obx? I bought it from Kyle from MAP. I cut the t3 flang that was on it off and put a t4 on. Dsm link car and thats about it. I have the bottle mounted in the trunk, I'm just not sure if I'm going to use it. I thinking it should spool 25-30psi around 5200-5500.

Swap the BOV to pre-MAFT. Looks good otherwise.

Sweet!! Point it south and start driving to Rogers now.

(or maybe wait for insurance to kick in)

later,
Curt

I didnt mean that in that way. I was like header??? idk what brand not, its not a header!!! lol Sorry John. I'll sway those two i/c pipes around and ill be set!

Looking good! We gonna see some numbers out of this beast sometime soon?

And +1 on the MAF-T thing, just flip that pipe around and stick the MAF-T up to the throttle-body.

I'm guessing that hose wont be kinked either when youre done? can you say kaboom OH NO COOLANT ALL OVER?!!? Unless im mistaken and that isn't the coolant line.

Yeah, I was going to say, uncrimp that upper radiator hose. But then you said you don't have a radiator in yet.. so that may be the reason.

What turbo?

Notice I said I still have to put my radiator in.... I pulled that hose out of the way to remove my old one.

Looks good. Are you worried about your hood getting really hot from the manifold?

**1ViciousGSX** · 08-14-2007

If the underhood heat shield is in place, he should be fine.

Its in place. I might wrap it to keep that part cool. My hood needs paint real bad so I'm not to worried about it lol. I just am waiting for the damn insurance to kick in and I'll be out and about!! Thanks for the comments and thoughts guys!!

**1ViciousGSX** · 08-15-2007

Do you guys have a insurance waiting period? It's immediate here.

I'm waiting until the 23rd then I will have no tickets on my record. 3 years ago I got one on August 23rd so, my insurance guy told me to wait till then to put insurance on it! That way I'll pay way less. I'm coming in a just under $80 a month for insurance on it. So until then its going to be driven up and down my street lol. I live in BFE!!!
