We went back to the dyno to finish the tune yesterday and we LOST power since the last visit when the car was shutting off but I'm pretty sure we know why. There is an exhaust leak under the hot side of the turbo and it has to come off and be re mounted.
As a result, we left it at 20psi and made just 500hp. Incidentally, a 500hp car is still pretty darned awesome I might add. Never the less, I can't wait to fix the leak and turn up the boost!
I also got all of ALISC3's "FFIM ON THE CHEAPISH" ingredients so that will be going down at the same time.....
Also... I purchased a hanger for my dual Walbro E85-450's so those will be installed along with an E85 filter and flex-fuel sensor.
We installed a Weldon FPR already. I also have two AEM serial gauges to find somewhere to mount. My pillar is full now after adding the fuel pressure gauge.
Once you get started..........

I had to take a spending break for a bit!
That break is over......
The car has been with Ace mechanic Adrian in Queens for almost a week. The front facing intake is in the car finally, a remote power steering reservoir, a 3 port Mishimoto catch can, fittings and lines are on the way and will arrive today. My short shifter is in the car and V160 shift **** for it will arrive tomorrow. The exhaust leak under the hot side of the turbo has been repaired. My GTE valve covers have had the larger -AN fittings added and are going on the car today. The new Clutchmasters FX400 clutch and pressure plate is in the car. The worst part of this is that the power will be restored just in time to break in the new clutch. I won't be able to drive it hard at all for 500 miles (city only). The car should not go into boost during this time. This is going to be torture. I wish I could pay someone to break it in for 3 straight days around NYC for me.
pics when I get it back later in the week.

Finally, the ALISC3 FFIM, GTE covers and catch can is in and a day from finished.. It looks better, but it has uncovered LOADS of stuff I am going to have to tuck. It never ends! I also had a short shifter installed, a new clutch masters clutch and several other things!
