Couldn't help noticing you were going with an o2 dump after reading this first.

I am running an o2 dump at the moment, figuring when I bought it that it being loud as all hell only during WOT was a good thing. I have since changed my mind about that. The problem with the o2 dump is that in ensures EVERYONE around you will be looking right at you when you go WOT. Cool when you're trying to impress/scare people, not so cool when you just want to floor for fun on the commute home. IMO it makes the car feel more like an on/off switch.

Just want to make sure you've thought it through as I'm swapping mine for an Invidia o2 housing.

Car looks great man!! Love the tail lights and the AEM Uego placement....I am definitely looking forward to your BBK-B results...I just got my car running a couple weeks ago with my BBK-B...I've been street tuning the car slowly this week...threw a nice Mivec MAP in last night...I need to work a bit more on the fuel map and I'm only running 22psi or so right now...car is real smooth though...I will be running 93 oct. all the time...In regards to the maf pipe, what about a Perrin or Samco Silicone maf pipe? You can pick up the Samco pipes cheap, thats is what I am using with my BBK-B...

Nice job on the gauge integration. Too bad AEM doesn't make a slightly smaller gauge.

Thanks for pointing that out. I should have been more clear in my original post. I basically drive my car three ways; putzing around town like a grandma, spiritedly around town under ~15psi, or like a bat out of hell. Where I live, I care not much about noise violations but rather speeding tickets. I don't do much in terms of driving crazy on the street but I guess my point is that if I'm WOT for more than a few seconds I have bigger fish to fry than worry about a sound violation especially with the new speeding rules in Illinois. I understand that the noise might cause more attention and lead to a better chance of a ticket, but with the new rules in Illinois, going to jail speeds take less than 7 seconds from a dead stop. When I do let her rip, I'm usually on an on ramp to 90e or out in the country. In St. Charles, we're basically on the edge of the urban sprawl. I only have about a 3 minute drive until I hit farm country that goes all through Iowa.

The Perrin or Samco hoses are good, however the benefits from them are purely aesthetic.
