Not exciting, but a video that starts with Peter's car, then the Boxster owner that I spent much of the day talking to (Oster?), the nice BMW with big wing, and I think the last car was Todd's.
Thank you for everyone that voted for me at the Cookout. I know it's no big deal to win 1st out of 5 cars...especially when most of the other contestants are friends that spent 1/2 the money. lol
It feels good anyway. My build was always intended to be 1/2 show and 1/2 track. This small bit of validation is appreciated!
I look forward to going to Factory MOD in Illinois next month and thanks to those of you that have helped me get to this point.
I didn't take a whole lot of pics, but here is the album.
When I was on the stock tune I had bolted on the AMS 3" intake and drove it to DB to drop it off...no big deal. I installed the Primo intake and drove it to DB tonight and the car was really pissed off. I guess I should of just thrown it on in his parking lot but I knew I wouldn't be getting there until fairly late.
We'll see what he can do with it tomorrow. It's a lot of work so I wonder if he'll have enough time. He'll be scaling the 3.5" MAF, installing the ID2000's, and doing two tunes that can be map switched. One will be similar to what it has now -- 25psi and 400whp or so. The other tune will be whatever she's got at 30-32psi. I asked him to give psi-based boost control a try if he has the time.
Let's see, maf is 36% bigger so drop maf scaling by about that much, injectors are double, so 2x scaling + the new injector latency fix and use the supplied (?) latencies, then put in psi-boost hack w/ zero CF, fire up the car, cross fingers and go baby go!
Just kidding, it's a little more involved than that. I will be very interested to see how the psi-based boost control works out for ya on the street!

English major? I don't know where you got 36% from.

1000cc * 2 != 2200cc. And nothing works right with the huge injectors as far as just doing simple scaling for the size.

Done. PSI base still isn't perfect since it's based on absolute pressure instead of gauge pressure, which most people talk about and absolute will change from day to day based on the barometric pressure, but that's fairly minor.
Well, back to work. The intake scaled fairly decent. Now on to switching the injectors and trying to get the 2200s to behave.
I'm not an ECU geek, that's just what Tephra calls it. By default the X uses load targets and you can't actually tell it to hit a particular psi target. Every dyno you run the car on will hit a different peak boost because it loads the car differently.
The best analogy I've heard is that it will behave like an ECU-adjusted MBC afterward.
