Don't feel bad, I spent a better part of the morning telling off everyone at FedEx. I don't think I'm welcome there anymore.

BB all the way. It's worth the upgrade.

Too late, I already pegged that money for the Fuel return.

I have the JB. Works fine for me. And FR sounds like a really nice place to put the extra $$

South Bend Stage 3 installed. I got the quiet disc option with the 19lb billet flywheel and I listened and there is no difference in chatter from stock. I was looking for it but that extra pedal effort is for real. Now I need to make an adjustment to the RJM pedal to get it a bit lower. Bought a guage cluster off ebay and I'm gonna install the gauges in the assembly so when I get ready to do the real install all I have to do is run the wires and pop the gauges in. Hopefully I don't damage mine and can re sell them to someone else as enterprising as me.

Stage 3 daily.

I tiptoed around the CJM FRS and I figured I better just do it so I just placed the order. The new plan involves me doing the install at my buddy's shop. Only curveball is that I had been looking for an SUV and now the GF wants an SUV and I'll DD the Acura. Looks like I'll be renting a car for the install due to the fact that it's going to take her awhile to decide what we'll be buying and she does'nt understand the necessity of boost.

So this weekend I completely nullified the surprise factor on the turbo kit with the GF. Picked up an Acura MDX Advanced package for her to DD and I'll DD the TL. The box from CJM arrived and I stopped by the shop to pick up the Tanabe Gauges. (Anyone wanting a set of Prosport Halo Gauges, I'll hook you up!! 300.00 for 52mm Oil Press, Oil Temp, Wide band.) Since I already have a spare gauge pod cluster I got on ebay, I took it apart to see what it would be like to fit the gauges. Actually it'll be a piece of cake. The spare cluster even came with the harness so I'll actually pre wire it when I figure out the wires so that once I rip out the installed cluster it'll be plug and play. The only thing I'm waiting on is the turbo kit to arrive. Tomorrow I'll go ahead and mock up the gauges so they're drop in ready and the Kuda mount for the boost controller. Then I wait for the boxes that count. I feel like a 10yr old at 9pm on December 24th.

Geez. If I had to factory in the price of a new automobile to buying a FI kit; I don't think I'll ever afford one. Geez. .

Well I totalled my Tundra in December and got the Z. I knew I'd need something to DD and I was gonna do a smaller Truck but I was also figuring how to break the "I bought a turbo kit". Soooooo she got a really nice SUV, I don't need a truck for another year and I can DD the TL all for less than it would've cost me to Buy a truck. ( Cheapest Titan XD on the lot was 51k ).
I'm gonna walk in the house balancing the turbo box on my head doing this::happydance: and she can't say sheot!!! ( maybe )

Are you using UpRev or Ecutek?

Uprev, I'm already invested. I thought about the switchover but I'm just not tempted enough.

For future reference, if you pull the factory gauges you'll lose some of the functionality of Ecutek. Just something to think about before you yank it all.

Yep, already knew. Thanks though.
