I just got up First time I have gotten to sleep in past 6:00 in months!

 

Ok, posted this somewhere else, but I'm tired of stupid answers and people making fun of me...Ray and I are installing my Injen full turboback today with cat-delete...is there any process I need to go through after installing it, or is it good to go? Any ideas? Don't want the car blowing up...again

 

Install it then drive it that is all you need to do. No break in period just watch your boost gauge cause normally the boost will go up a pound or 2 with a TBE.

Ben

 

Go get an O2 simulator so you don't get a Check engine light!

 

Done Ben, and Done Scott, Ray took care of me like the good little asian boy he is, and his car looks cool too...after a long day it's finally done and it pulls hard, isn't that loud, IS pretty smelly, and doesn't taper down nearly as bad. Problems that occured: A) we had to go find another gasket cuz injen shorted us one, no big deal, just kinda pissy B) The heat shield by the exhaust was actually resting right on top of the new exhaust and it was rattling a bit, so I had to go back and Ray banged on the heat shield with a screw driver a bit and blam it was fixed. Anyway, for those of you thinking about the alignments and stuff, Ray's a great guy...again: Thanks a bunch Ray, and sorry it took so freakin long.
Oh and Ben boost went up about...2 lbs exactly, is that bad? it was about 18.7ish and now it's about 20.5ish...yeah

 

Jake you were getting tore up pretty good on the Engine forum Sorry, but it was funny reading it. Those guys are pretty ruthless......so anyway, did you change the bearings? Ok, I'll stop. It was a good laugh though.

 

Though Jake this is alot funnier http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1703913

 

No, scott, don't worry about it, it was a good laugh, and I was just checking on what Ray had told me to check on in the fastest way I could...it is pretty dang funny...and yes, we installed carbon fiber bearings and they add 10 hp, and I also checked my HID fluid resevoir and I was a bit low so we filled that up too...lol...I was getting torn up cuz that 90GSX guy hates me, and I knew he'd be the first one to post...and everyone else decided to follow the leader....still wondering if 20.5 lbs of boost from the tbe is bad or not...I know people have MBC set to 21, so I would assume not, but I don't want my car to have ANY problems...ever...ever...never ever

And that forum is ten times as hilarious Scott, the poor kid, if he was serious...jeez, poor kid is all I can say, he should go get an S2k all those guys are nice, none of them are on crazy Evo trips...I mean ego trips...but yeah, I noticed coolant in my radiator too, so we cleaned that out and flushed it out of the system

 

scott, can you give me a call A.S.A.P. !! I have some warranty questions!!

 

Yeah, but did you remember to put sand in through the intake at 5000 RPM to polish?


... warranty? what warranty!?

 

Ray and I used glass beads to do it instead, that way it polished the engine too, you won't have a warrenty in 10 min braveheart

 

Yet another VW thread on how to screw up your engine...

jake, did you call me boy? i think it's the other way around.

as for telling people i'm a good guy, stop lying. it's not true.

well i'm actually almost done for the night. front swaybar's all done. just gonna gut the stuff in the trunk.

so mike, whaddya think???

 

VERY nice! There seems to be less turbo lag and a bit more power. I'm tempted to pay for another dyno just to see how much of difference there really is. Exhaust note is better than stock ... the stocker was almost as quiet as your M3!

Thanks for helping monkeyboy out!

 

Ok, Ray's right, he's not really a good guy, he's kind of a screw off, and if I remember right he was hung-over when he did my coilovers...he's good at what he does though, cuz they still work great...lol...did you really finish drilling that beast? And yeah, thanks again Ray, the heatshield hasn't been making weird noises at all anymore, so, so far so good...and my mom rode in the car and said she can't tell the difference (aka it's not soo freakin loud she thinks it's stupid) which is a really good thing.
