DEF... i am down for those....and any other suspension components besides the control arms cause i already have bushings for them. If you need some money for a junkyard part or to buy a used one let me know so we can get some parts made for it and u dont have to have ur car off the road.

It's LOUD. Videos to come tomorrow (low qual video this evening, though). I got 3 hours of sleep and am at work.

You can hear the turbo coastdown... my favorite.. but it's OBNOXIOUSLY loud. Every car alarm.

The one thing I noticed too was IT SPOOLS INSANELY FAST.

Nice!!! Cant wait for the videos!!!

Can't wait to hear it...and I'm down for some bushings too

[ion] C2 · 09-12-2011, 12:35 PM

This thing rips.

IT SPOOLS TO 20 PSI UNDER 2500 RPM.. WTF! I can barely touch the throttle and I'm peaking boost, it's effing awesome!

But, my exhaust fell down lol. Plastic cable ties apparently won't hold it up. The welding wire still held, but it's in front of the flexpipe so the middle part of my exhaust is dragging haha. I'll have to use some metal wire to tie it up before I leave work.

But eff, guys, I love this. Manwhore will love the open sound. Sounds like a racecar at the drag strip when I start it.. a nd when the wastegate opens, the car just effing sounds insane.

Boner acheived..

+1 for taking my advice on doing a tubular mani

2500? When were you hitting boost with the old setup. I was thinking with.the tubular mani you would make boost round 3500 with serious high end flow

Well done.

If you're running an open downpipe, it IS a racecar

Watch out for false KR triggered by the noise, could yank all the timing out from under it. Pack some Permagum around the knock sensor if you get it.

Indeed. There's a LOT of vibration right now, lol.

4400 RPM. Lots of delay off the line then once it hit 4400 it was just like instant ramp up to peak.

Now it's crazy. Pulls hard. Tune is wayyyy off though, hoping to fix this week.

sounds awesome

[ion] C2 · 09-12-2011, 06:32 PM

My phone maxes out at 140dB so the exhaust note is retarded but you can hear the spool coastdown...

Im glad it preforms better as well

colonel6632 · 09-13-2011, 02:44 PM

amazazing!!!!!

[ion] C2 · 09-13-2011, 10:09 PM

I took the shop guys out for a ride tonight, was hilarious. It's so much faster now. Can't wait for it to be tuned. I break traction so easily.. they were like "Yeah, I don't think you'll be running 13s anymore lol"

We tried racing one of the new mustangs and when we took off I just spun forever and I just blazed up to him and then he didn't want to race anymore lol..

By the way, I have an AEM Dryflow air filter now... no more sucking stuff into the intake lol.

LOL! I did a fly-by video with a co-worker during lunch on this side industrial road near our building, and there was another employee walking down that road talking on the phone and I ended up scaring the shit out of her when she heard my car take off hahaha. Video to come.

Nice

The exhaust is closed up and quiet though, I can only imagine what her reaction would've been if it was open downpipe.. lol

Apparently she jumped off the road thinking some crazy person was about to hit her haha
