I had some help in getting the o2 sensor bung welded on to my downpipe, but I am doing the install. I got the Zeitronix ZT-2 with boost, EGT, and the LCD display. I'm just not sure where to put that display. It's a lot bigger than I thought.

Ok - I am on my way to pick up my car with a 20g-green car. I expect I will drive it around for 2 days before I make the trip to Reno. Can not wait to see how the MR struts work on my 04. Yeah It may go a lot quicker too!

Congrats. Do you have dyno graphs of before and after? Be safe driving back. It is suppose to snow here tomorrow and it'll be cold afterwards, so be cautious of black ice.

Pickup complete

Ok - Got the Car back! Check out the picts. Doug (DynoPower) and Al (Flash) are working on a new map for the Buschur equipped 20G- LT which should be ready for the car before I head up to Reno. These turbos are so new that little is known about the West Coast fuel and setups work . The car screams and it idles real nice too!

The Car is running on CAL/Nevada 91 octane gas. This is what we got and we need to be careful to find the limit without burning a cylinder. The boost is limited at 22 pounds and Doug believes that the final map will push the top end another 40 Horses+ the target is 390whp . Car pulls strong up to rev limit. Man can you hear the turbo come on over the stock. All so on shut down I do a hot cool down and after the key is turned off you can hear the turbo spool down

I will have the car Dyno'd (Doug has a Mustang just like Buschur) after the new map is ready if there is time before I go back to Reno.

Have a great day!

I had an alignment done at Les Schwab at Kietzke and Vassar. They did a good job, but that was about 5 years ago on my Eclipse GSX. Is your alignment off already?

I think John of Jestr is on the road on a tuning trip. I hear TTP is pretty good, so I'm sure you can't go wrong there. Besides, it's only a e-flash, so it probably isn't too much of a difference.

How are the s-tein? I would like to do some suspension work too, but as of the moment, I hardly reach the limits of the stock setup.

My car is still in progress. I need to figure out all the wiring that goes to the ECU. Hopefully, it'll be done this weekend.

No. 1st time I went, there was another Evo with I think was a 50 trim, but on our 2nd pass, he blew a head gasket. 2nd time, I was the only Evo out there. Hopefully, more will come out this season. I think a lot of people are afraid of breaking something on their $35k Evos, which is understandable.
