Just picked up some cheapo K-Sport suspensions ... bummer they tried to put on 12k fronts and 11.5k rears. I specifically ordered 12k rears and 10k fronts. :P Joys of doing business.

A ha , so how are you going to make it idle properly? Or will it just sit at 800 rpm's as it warms up?

You might have to change your idle enrichment so it doesn't die when its 20 degrees outside.


Btw thanks for telling me to get the Gm boost solenoid I now hold 20 psi to redline and it gives me alot more torque throughout I love it.

If you look closely at the picture I tapped a set screw to keep the butterfly cracked. I'm not too worried about fueling, timing may need a slight adjustment though.

Gotta love ECU boost control with a 3-port, It's the only way to fly

The Evo is sold. So sad. I've got a set of track only front brake pads left over if any one is interested. I bought them from Jake and used them once. Check out the link in my signature. It goes to the Utah for sale thread.

I have been fortunate to be able to pick them up dirt cheap but, I think I've depleted the local supply
