Thanks

. Yeah it's the Greddy. With the fuel management and random stuff I had to buy (new oil pan, have it pre-tapped, powder coat all the intercooler piping, ceramic coat the turbo manifold, etc.) it came out to probably about $3300-$3500. My car club and I spent a weekend getting this puppy in.

Damn sweet, love the intercooler piping, on off piece, thats roughly the price of the TRD supercharger, any idea how much hp ur putting down?

Hehe nah, tryin to balance it all. Hence the carPC and polished valve cover. I had her dyno tuned for a safe tune, because she's my daily driver. With that said, I'm only putting down 229.3 hp at the wheels, but I am soon gonna be upping the boost and some other goodies.

Your car would rip it up faster till you installed Microsuck software. Should have went Linux

Bad ass BC there. Looking tight.

Lol, yeah I was considering a dual boot thing going, but I figured some of the media software I wanted to integrate was already available with XP. I like Linux, don't get me wrong, in fact I used GParted to expand my HD from 6 to 80 gigs, but see my take on Linux is: Linux is great you can do everything, but you have to do everything...too much micro management with writing all the kernels. Also I don't think the eManage support tool can be easily configured with Linux, and I want to integrate that in eventually, so that when I get a wideband 02 and an electronic boost controller, I can tune on the fly (kinda).

I'm thinking navy would win because his boost is constant, mine has a (barely noticable) lag. Hopefully, with enough finance management though, I can be up to around 270ish by the end of the summer (not likely though cause the show season always takes up too much time). As far as the sound of my BOV....at partial boost, it blows off kinda like a sequential BOV. At full boost, it has a good sound (not sure which one to compare it to, because I have never heard either the SRT's or the EVO's). With the 8.5lbs of boost though, as well as the tightness I have the BOV set to, it's not super loud, which is good because navy and I have a similar idea....keep the outside clean but distinctive, let the rice roll up and sound off their 4" Autozone exhausts, then come back at 'em with a nice subtle blow off (or in his case, prolly sounds like a jet engine about to go into afterburn), and maybe a bit of tire smoke. The nice thing is that if they don't get the hint, you can always just go balls to the wall and show them that they really should put more effort into their rides

Not that I ever race mind you....I just drive away very spiritedly while they try to keep up.

chicotunner07 · #12 (**permalink**) Sat., Mar 03, 2007

HAHAHA, i really need some boost!!!

navylife59 · #13 (**permalink**) Tue., Mar 06, 2007

rabid FTW cause he could pull on me in 3rd when the turbo kicks in. Come April, different story, till he cranks it up.

rabid- Are you saying you haven't had that thing tuned? If not, better get it done ASAP. What car PC are you running? I have been thinking along the same lines cause it is a pain in the butt to tune a laptop in the passenger seat when your pulling runs. Love the install. You might ditch the OEM bat for an Oddesy bat for less weight and for more show points.

Oh I had it tuned. I made sure that the guy tuned it rich (safe) because she's my daily driver. I have a VIA EPIA M1000 in a Morex Cubid low profile case.

Got new wheels =) TSW Estoril 18x8 35mm offset. They're wrapped with Kumho Ecsta AST's 25/40/18

Looking good. Is that the hyperblack? Any problems with rubbing? Is your car lowered at all?

Yeah, I got the hyperblack/gunmetal.... I do have some rubbing on the left driver's side but only on big bumps, or hard right turns where the road dips to the left a bit. It's only on a very small part of the inner fender liner near the top, and I can probably just either remove the inner fender (the other side got ripped off already...long story) or just semi-roll that section.

navylife59 · #18 (**permalink**) Mon., Mar 19, 2007

Is the rub on the outside or on the inside of the tire?

Rabid Lemming · #19 (**permalink**) Mon., Mar 19, 2007

Oustide. Inside, I only lost 3mm.

navylife59 · #20 (**permalink**) Mon., Mar 19, 2007

I am looking to ride on the same setup except +40mm offset
