So either tonight or tomorrow im bringing it home. It starts no problem im pulling 20 vaccum so there seem to be no leaks. The car is not tuned so i will be taking it easy to get it home and watch all my gauges very carefully.

I have the accesstuner software I also have the MM service but based on when i got it i wouldnt get it in time and well i have to wait like everyone else. My tuner is a wayssss away but i need to make a trip to him so I can have the MM maps as well as his. I am reading and learning alot trying to get to the point where i can tune myself using conservative maps....that includes growing some ***** too lol.

I'm willing as soon as i said im going FI i knew what i was possibly in for lol its just a learning curve now..... So much info very hard to know where to start i have read through soooo many build threads and other material glad this site is here also lots of conflicting information so you have to weed out somethings as well.

Sooo After a long cruise home the car ran well afr's were pretty steady between12-15 at cruise, at start up my vaccum was 20. It was popping alot but nothing to wild happened. I heard the turbo begin to spool a few time it made it hard to not want to punch it lol. Definitely needs to be tuned. One oddity was my AFR gauge when i laid off the throttle for some reason it pegged at 21.9 .............didnt make much sense or does it im pretty sure i would be toast if that was correct however when i went on the throttle again it went back to my crusing afr anyone ever seen this? I have the innovative lc-1 with regular gauge.

Makes complete sense then thanks Al. I almost had a heart attack then realized no crazy sounds only happens when i lay completely off throttle and when i go back on its normal again maybe the gauge is being odd.
Yeah quick indeed.........no corners cut either.
I really wish i could tune this car myself...................Ill have to keep reading lol.

I agree it would be helpful to those who want to expand their knowledge everyone always will have something to add or something that conflicts with another belief but ultimately will be helpful putting it all in one place maybe at least i think so lol.

Intercooler is HUGE!
New gauge pod rewired I had them on the A pillar before but im going to use my CF pod that everyone hates.
Im so anxious i really want to drive the car but not having it tuned is super lame.

I saw that long ago..........Im running a 28x10x3 with mazmart thermosat soon the waterpump as well since they had an issue with mfg them. Also shouldn't Meth help alot? On my cruise home at 55-60 i saw no spikes in temp but i wasnt under boost. Chickenwafer never mentioned any temp issues as well. I think ill be ok because im on the NE our ambient temp doesnt really get super hot and i dont plan on tracking the car. I will definitely keep an eye out though thanks for the linky and the heads up. I wish i could drive it and find out lol. PS the rice effect is awesome my neighbor came out of their house then rang my doorbell and said "Holy hell you boosted your 8 that intercooler looks crazy". But you are right is it efficient and effective....

If it's only 10" deep you could easily raise it - you need to get some airflow underneath . Yes it does look good but why build in a compromise to performance ......
If you do raise it you will also need to cut out the blocked off diamonds in the factory grill to get extra airflow through .
