Thanks, not very much, but there were other bigger issues to correct. I'll try to update the thread soon. A CAI is mandatory for this kit, though, imo.

Already had to buy new tires after 11 test drives lol. Now Redog has a competitor. Maybe we'll call it Redpup? eh, maybe not.

Looks clean!

Redog is an NA car, so, umm, yeah, no

I think yours would beat it, still got stock exhaust here

Had a ton of false KR, eliminated that. Now has pretty good power under most conditions. The 68mm TB I recommend to anybody with these kits. Seamless drivability, super good throttle response.

And have ongoing experiments with water/alcohol injection. It does not really solve the high IAT problems, at least not with the EGR in place. Only had good results injecting pure alcohol. In all cases, the PCM will try to adapt and pull fuel on successive WOT runs. Don't really want to debate alc injection, but I will say that for my money, I'd rather relocate the battery and try AW intercooling, even if it had to be in the engine compartment.

Nice. What's that on top of the battery?

I decided I like this alcohol injection system, especially for use in outside temps above 65 deg F. and on the street. I have it set to activate @ 2-3 psi boost with no other controls on it. EGR is installed but now blocked at the valve. All I have monitored at this point is the Upper Intake Manifold temps, not full scans. It's a relief to know that when you really get on it in traffic, the temps are well under control. At the track (very long WOT run), additional controls are needed because you run the risk of bogging down when it's on for too long a time.
