It does just fine. I had my warm up set up a little high to 1500 but after about 2 minutes it drops down to normal. My egr/evap was already disabled in v7 so it didn't even throw a code after removing all of it. It was super easy to do and I love how much cleaner/simpler everything is. Took off about 10 lbs. of weight and less chances for pesky boost leaks as an added perk.
I also rewired the engine harness a bit so I could clean it up and not have wires running all over the intake manifold as well as relocating my catch can to where the ACD pump would be on 8 MR's and 9's. I just need to stop by a parts store and get a longer vac line so I can run one of my catch can lines under the UICP to keep it more discreet. I'm very pleased with it and took me about an hour to do everything from start to finish.

Sunday:
Worked on the same spare engine that broke my hand. Since I'm a one-handed gimp right now I didn't do much more than spray Simple Green and scrub things with a wire brush.
My friends, however, installed a cleaner intake plenum, 560cc injectors and replaced the exhaust manifold/turbo with an Evo VI one.
Today:
Cleaned random spots of dirt in the engine bay. Drove it way harder than I should given my crankwalk....and wheel hub bearing....and possibly alignment....

Lots of goodies
Pretty excited about this one. Currently the car is still on the garage awaiting my Red from FP. But in the past week its received an AEM oil pressure guage w AMS remote line, New front hub assy, front carbon fiber lip, 255 pump, 750cc rc injectors, perrin fuel rail, samco radiator hoses, megan o2(not on clearly, no turbo). She will be getting serviced with new rad fluid as well as Dominator AMSoil, cant wait to get tuned and see my new numbers.
