What are you using to control that thing? Chip? Or, so have some sort of AEM computer or something?

I have the stage 2 headers. Pony down is A++++++. My headers didn't fit on one side and he fixed them at no cost. He "Jeff" gets back to e mail and phone calls same day!

Also I have a V-band connector. T-4 inlet.

I didn't start though, I think we fluded it when I was priming everything cuz It pop a couple times then that was it. Crank at it for about a half hour trying to dry up the plugs and taking them out a couple times, but Just got to tired. I'll hit at it again tomorrow.

IT runs!!!!!!! but it pig rich at start up a fouls the plugs as soon as the keys turned. it does run just not normal start up. It blew off the charge pipes twice so I'm buying T-clamps right now. I saw 11psi once right as the tube blew off!!!! MY GOD is all I got to say, I need a dry day. Nothing but wheel spin. The BOV is freakin SWEET too! Not to say the open wastegate it awesome sounding too!

How much was that kit? I think you'll find it running rich at idle without a chip or a tune with those 42's. Read the new MMFF, they made 480-490 with 200,000 mile long block and 10psi turbo. Over 500 with 14psi.

Good luck

Thanks for the comments, it was well worth it. Replacing the pan with the motor in was a job in its own.

I already got all my T-bolt clamps, but thanks anyways

the kit was 2,799 and 3,800 out the door with the C/L, 42's, and tax.
