Re: Evo X upgrades

Shawn is so McGyver that he found a better location and had stuff lying around to make a bracket. In the end one of the fittings that I had didn't 'fit' so the afpr didn't get installed.

Re-wiring the pumps solved the excess fuel pressure at idle issue. I'm assuming it'll be close enough under boost to be tunable. If so then I'll skip the afpr since this is one piece of complexity that I don't like.

The PLX gauge setup blows chunks at this point. It may be another thing that looks pretty but doesn't work. If I go over 5k rpm the gauges freeze up and misbehave. If I'm just tooling around town then they are fine. Spent a few more hours this morning troubleshooting but nothing makes sense. I'm going to check whether they need a firmware update and starting reading the thicker manual. no big deal...I didn't have gauges before. lol.

The fueling situation seems really good right now--no misfires or knock when beating on it. Need to get the car to Shane sometime this week so he can check it out before the 26th. I want to get some laps in.
