Whoever owns that garage.. Such badass! Must be really nice to have a lift at home. I've had my fair share of back aches. lol

Thanks. I cannot claim the garage but did install the lift. Hit me up at some point to check out the kit. Should be up and running Saturday

Work starts back up this afternoon. List of remaining tasks is down to: tap IM, injectors, spark plugs, fuel pump swap, kit electrical, install gauges, wire gauges, plumb WGs/BOV/EBC, fix cowling/windshield clicking, complete recheck, upload tune and fire her up.

When you type it out like that it seems like so little work.

Yep. My car wants her garage back. "Who is that slut in there? Without her bumper on? While I'm sleeping outside in the cold and rain"

About to load the tune and its start button time

[jwick]

So, she lives!

Having a few issues with what i think is the tune. Double checking everything to make sure it isn't something else.

I'm not going to lie, my money says this base map has issues.

Sure was. Those blue filters look awesome!

To be honest if Sasha/Vince can't get me a little better off throttle map my tuner might be getting it next weekend too.

First full trottle 7k pull on the freeway. This thing rips!

So long weekend again working on the G. Much appreciation to Chuck and Nathan for all their assistance, really couldn't have done it without y'all. Also extremely thankful the GF was supportive and willing to put up with me these past two weeks while the only thing on my mind was successfully moving the G into the BP club. I've got to say that I'm extremely happy with the way everything turned out. Took the car out for a few pre-boost data logs to make sure that there was nothing abnormal going on. There are a few issues I'm having with this base map that I need to discuss with Sasha but they are all driveabililty and have nothing to do with full throttle romping of the car. After we confirmed that there were no serious issues, Chuck and I decided it was time to feed the G a little boost and see what happens. So we set out with Chuck in the passenger seat with UpRev up and logging. After a little minor boost and everything checking out Chuck tells me he's ready to see a full gear pull. This thing pulls hard and it's on WG pressure and really rich. Turbo lag is almost non-existant and boost threshold is really good for a turbo this large!

As I said been a long weekend. Happy Easter to everyone and I'll try and update the thread with weekend work tomorrow.

Off to install my mirror tap for my Passport as I removed the hardwire to make room for the gauges. Really going to need that radar detector now that I'm boosted.
