Re: viridionplague's project

ok so here are a bunch of pictures cause everyone likes pictures, i didnt get any of the whole car as its coated in salt and it got dark out though.









as for the kit, i had to cut alot more than the standard radiator support spots in order to get this thing to work. i had to cut all but 1 pipe i got in the kit to make it fit right, and it wasnt because i used the wrong stuff in the wrong spots, i test fitted everything in just about every way possible. i probably got a good foot of aluminum pipe chunks.

as well as having to drill out the supports to get the supplied bolts though.

over all though for the price of 410 shipped it still isnt super bad as it saves to time of welding the j-pipe and the throttle body elbow.


as you can see in the pics ive got my maft setup right on the throttle body elbow and the bov right before that. it works out pretty well.


now for the bad though, the j-pipe dosent have a nipple yet, so untill i go get one welded in had to splice into the bov line.

i dont exactly know what the second nipple on the bov is for as the kit comes with no instructions at all.

due to haveing to cut all the pipes most of them done have the ribs to hold the couplers on.

the first time out with the car, the wastegate actuater was not hooked up properly, luckily i preped for this by looking at the boost guage the whole time and i shifter at about 13 psi. after that the car slowly builds boost and dosent realy want to go past 7 psi.

and for all those who laughed at me before because part of the reason i bought the fmic kit was to solve a fuel cut issue, well i dont have fuel cut anymore.

anywas, as far as i can tell everything is hooked up and bolted down correctly, i dont know what the second nip on the bov is for so i just blocked it off after trying a few things to fix the boosting problem to no avail.

if anyone has any suggestions on what this might be, any help is appreciated
