Hey yeah I thinking ahead..

Just got back from MAP... Switching from the one 18inhg to the 4inhg inner and a 10 inhg outer springs has definitely helped. Way less flutter and "driveability" is much smoother. However, the bucking is not completed gone. But it only does it in 5th gear now. I have a single vacuum source to the BOV from the air intake. The hose is 3/16 npt and the fitting on the BOV in 1/16 npt.. so there should be no issues there.

since it seems you've got a thing for blue, and Cusco makes great suspension braces, you'd prob like this to keep up with your theme.

I'd start out when what's there no and make adjustment is any issues. Most people seem to be having great results with the Tial Q though as is.. at least on SD.

Back to MAP tomorrow for the Rev3, TB and DP. Spaz you coming out? LOL

Debating if I want to dyno again tomorrow to see if any gains without retune..

Also going to have them remove the inner spring on my BOV which should finally eliminate bucking. But even with the inner spring the overall softer springs has stopped the 4th gear buck which was the worst and most irritating.

Couple other parts have come in.. heard from TCC and valve cover will be ready soon... w00t!

Spent some more time at MAP today. Was able to get VC installed, catch can fabbed and mini battery setup done. Woot! Engine bay is coming along! Still having knock issues. So heading back Monday. Makes no sense. Even compression tested the motor to rule out any issues there. Test was all good.*

Updated engine bay pics:
