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

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 . 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.

Good to hear it is going well.

Mechanical or digital type?

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.

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.

The Minneapolis Cars and Coffee event is the first Saturday of every month at the Caribou Coffee/Einstein Brothers Bagels parking lot off of Shady Oak Rd and Hwy 62 in Minnetonka. They meet from 9am to 11am.

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 .
