Out here, the cops are desperate to get some busts, but the meth-heads and illegals are too dangerous, so they prey on the folks in the quiet neighborhoods. They'll bust you for jay-walking in the middle of the night.
They were out of my hair last night, though. Apparently, it takes 7 cops to search one Dodge Dynasty with a sole occupant.
They had him cuffed and face down on the pavement, but unsupervised. It just looked like he was taking a really uncomfortable nap.
There were two Chandler cops, one Tempe and 4 Phoenix. That spot is actually where all three meet (I10 and Ray Road), but, come on.

I have the MAP that 09Factor is using with stock injectors.
I can also port my current MAP to the A/T, but you will need to do the injector upgrade for it to even be close.
There really isn't such a thing as a "base map" for the E-Manage, unfortunately since there are so many ways to wire it.

Just in case i plan to go FI in the future what is the price difference now-a-days between the petit supercharger and the greddy turbo??. Also one of the coolest noices on the planet to me is a nice BOV on a turbo system..driving in manumatic(while shifting gears) will it actually sound like in a stick??

I believe that the BOV will do its thing to relieve the backpressure when you let off the gas - so if you lift off the gas when you shift then yes it should sound that way.

I'm think about changing mine out to a HKS SSQ type of bov. I have the Greddy Type RS and it's a Psssssst sound.

For all of the turbo kit related stuff: (kit was used)
$1700 + $150 for the rebuild (Turblown) = $1850
For the Emanage Ultimate: (used from mysql101)
$550
Inovate LM-1: (Ebay new)
$288
The Exhaust system:
$200 for the RP Hi-flow cat (used from Phxtrvs) and $400 for the HKS Hi-Power exhaust (GB from lazi) = $600
for tuning and whatnot:
That still has to be worked out between MM and myself.
grand total so far = $3000.

I have no idea. I know it will beat a MT 8 but thats not a great way to measure.
I'll put on the strip when it has a more consistent tune. Which should be soon.

09Factor... So you really only gained about 50 HP but gained over 100 Tq. Thats pretty good, but I was wondering, is it safe to raise the boost any higher for the 4port without any issues so you could get more Hp? Also, could you add a wastegate so the blow off valve sounds better?

Hey I was curious to find out how much it would cost for a new turbo kit for a 4 port AT? If I got the Greddy kit for $3300, how much more money would I need to put in for it to run perfectly?

The Autos will always look a bit odd in tq because it will be higher than the MT at the same HP. But, there should be a balance. HP is what will be getting you moving, so you would want to see that as a higher number than shown.
Plus him starting at 135WHP is strange too. That is a bit below the 197HP crank or 160WHPish number he should have been starting with.
