No i never did get to go to the dyno.

 

Turco...excellent work man! It all looks great...nice pictures, as well. Gotta love the oven filled with car parts!


Anyone around tomorrow to play some hockey? Just mess around for a bit...lemme know.

 

So she is finally back on the ground after a wonderful fight with the airbox and my new boost line system. BTW dave/guys did you know that at idle there is atmospheric pressure coming from the turbo? I didn't and thus my gauge didn't. Anyway she is all back together include the 14.56 million undertray clips. I hope to see if the new mods made a difference yesterday. Of course i dont have my MBC set yet so i should only be making 17lbs of boost. I will post up final pics tomorrow. It looks sexy.

 

JDM rear is on the vehicle! looks sick, took about 3 hours, mostly modding the license plate area and removing existing rivets!

dave I'll call you tomorrow for street hockey maybe, I'm going to wash the car in the morning and take some end of season pics, if you want to come up here and take some pics with me and then some hockey let me know man!

 

Yeah, gimme a call. We're gonna run out for a short shopping trip, then i want to wash the car and grab some pics...though it already may be too late for those.

Turco...can't wait to see the car man...you wanna hang out at some point today?

Anyone wanna watch the Pats at our place tonite? If there's some interest, I'll check with kate and plan something

 

I cant mang too much going on. I want to go out to lunch with kris, wash my car (in and out), then going to parents for dinner. Maybe i will swing by on my way back from the rents place. I will call you later today. What time is the game?

 

4-7 kate just bought me guitar hero III for the Wii..... woohoo!

 

Dave, give me a call when u see this man, done with car, but I need another code check for the engine light, probably the same thing as last time, give me a ring man.

 

well i threw in the k&n drop in today... im pretty surprised at how much of a difference it made! although my stock filter was pretty dirty too!

turco, why do you not want to put an oiled filter in?

 

it is heavily debated about oiled filters on cars with MAFs that the oil can dirty the maf. People say it does get on the MAF other deny it. I tend to find that MAFs DO need cleaning when running an oiled filter. Of course it could be do to running the filter too long without recharging it, it could be due to the quality of the filter. I just dont want to run a filter that requires more maintenance then either replacing it or just a simple wash. It is just preference from running oiled filters in the past and friends that run them. I mean enough people run them where i wouldnt be worried it is just something else to have to maintain.

 

my K&N wasn't "over-oiled" as some come and my MAF still required some cleaning with each oil change, same story with my AEM which required oil...it's really no problem, but since I switched to the Apex'i dry filter I haven't had to clean the MAF at all.

Paul, you'll be fine...I would clean the MAF in 5-10k miles and see how much debris gets washed out...it won't be breaking your car either way.

 

where is everybody?

BTW everyone make if you lose a bolt/nut when working on your car, you find it. Story to come at next meet. And speaking of the next meet....

Edit: Dave/Greg good luck at the new jobby jobs!

 

lets do a meet weds. any suggestions where?

 

o yea... i happened to catch a couple episodes of heroes yesterday while i was home sick... and omg im hooked... i immediately went out and bought the dvd

 

how do you clean the maf? very carefully with qtips?

i'll just plan on doing it everytime i recharge my filter and i'll stop by ur place the first time i do it.
