Thanks, Champlain for coming out to look at my car. While coming home I blew my intake pipe out! Lol. I know I know.. Clamping them first thing tommorrow morning.

BoosTED 06-14-2008 12:18 AM

:) Beaded pipe and silicone couplers needed for the turbo? Maybe some T-bolt clamps. ;)

Speedrx8er 06-14-2008 03:48 AM

lol, at least you are getting boost :)

zxiong711 06-14-2008 09:03 PM

Well, I've already upgraded all the couplers. And ordered all the proper t-bolt clamps. Only thing was the two clamps that connected the inlet pipe to my intake were too small. I'm just using the greddy ones for now.
Yeah, I think there is an electrical or grounding issue with my gauges. Somehow whenever my car warms up, my gauges get pretty hot to the touch:icon_no2: . I guess I might have to open my deck up again and recheck the wiring. Other then that and the smell... lol Everything's working pretty well so far.

BoosTED 06-15-2008 12:05 AM

Good to hear it is going well.

Which gauges did you get?

Mechanical or digital type?

zxiong711 06-15-2008 11:26 AM

Well I have two prosport gauges(ele. Boost and EGT) and a aem UEGO AFR gauge. I may have to check the grounding. I'm thinking that's what causing all my gauges to overheat.

wow, were you getting electrical smell? check to see if you have any wires crossing another.

zxiong711 06-16-2008 02:04 PM

Hmm, while cruising around, I seem to notice that my whole dash is pretty hot. I'm now thinking that it's just the heat dissipating from the engine.

Speedrx8er 06-16-2008 02:41 PM

or the sun

Speedrx8er 06-27-2008 04:45 AM

Its almost time :)

Location: Keller park <-- gives us some privacey
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Sa...29:0::/io:0:/e

Date &time : Sunday 29 Noon(12:00)

Find your way to 35E towards St. Paul
get off exit 110A towards Still water onto 36
right on 61 (maplewood drive)

once you merge onto 61 you will see a stop light a few feet away.
Keep going pass the light then make a right at the next right about 40 second pass the light.

the entrance is a little hidden. If you pass it you will need to make a U-turn.

I don't know who is coming or how many or who will be bringing what.
So lets do this. Bring Your own lunch. If you are not hungry then we can do the mods first then head off to some fast food place near by.

see you there

Awesome, if Ted can find it. All you have to do is run over to Menard and get it cut.
We can program it and save you over $100 dollar i think :) .

19868Driver 06-28-2008 07:24 PM

I'm coming. Will bring watermelon - when it's hot, this'll hit the spot! Kinda want the blinking corner light mod.
