Thanks.

And I was driving it today and it felt slower. The turbos did not appreciate the heat. Looking forward to getting the tune in there.

I also gave it a bath today, it looks so much better.

Two things that should help handle the heat:  a cooler TStat, and a trans cooler upgrade.  The TStat is the easier mod, but car has to be tuned to take advantage (turn fans on earlier).

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I've already ordered a 170 stat
534 plugs
picking up an airraid intake tomorrow

And finally the tune from torrie will be here in the next couple weeks. I just want to make sure I have the first round of mods I plan on living with for a little while before I get the tune.

Intake purchased. Tstat coming from Mike when I can get over there.

On the 1st I'll be ordering my tune

I think after tune will be either lowering springs or coilovers. I like the price of springs but have the adjustability is so nice.

Then I'll start working on exhaust.

Haha. It's pretty much my only speed.


However after I get the tune I will be waiting a little while before I do the other things.

It's getting dynod tomorrow for a baseline as well.

So I got it dynod today for a baseline. Obviously it read high, my guess because he ran it with no load and at 3rd gear. Not sure why he decided to do it that way but he told afterwards so take it with a grain of salt.





I'm concerned about the initial spike then dip then back up again.

My guess is boost spike then it levels off and raises again with engine speed???
