You need the same color "balancing" piece I do, the right side fenfab charge pipe, lol. I wish he would have done that before the coolant tank.

Did you do this to avoid drilling the right side aFe intake tube for the WOT hose on the UPR? It seems the only place to put that hole is front/top and I really don't want to drill a hole there.
I did but it was a headache. Lol

I’m about to pull the trigger on the tank but not sure on black or red yet.

Yes sir. Making all the holes and going to weld a M20 thread structure on the crash bar for the shaft . Not sure about the red and may do gunmetal to accent the hood colors. Working with RaceSeng on this so I’m the guinea pig.

Im bored and need something to do :)

No big issues. Took a couple hours but I like to take my time with installs and a few cold beers.

Mine should be arriving about 4 tomorrow not sure if I should wait or just do it tomorrow night. I don't like waiting to get stuff installed. I see you have the spd downpipes. I live in a part of Georgia that doesn't do exhaust testing, should I just get the catless downpipes?

Also, have you sent any logs to Adam for a recalibration since the intake install?

That's done. This thing looks great. Reinstalling the bypass hose clamp was a real pain. I finally ditched the factory clamp and went to lowes and got a normal hose clamp. I'll prolly get some data logs tomorrow. What type of logs are you sending to him? Wot or just a second gear pull? Thanks

Yeah the bypass was a little crazy.

0-60 pulls
3rd and 4th pulls on E50


I know these are skewed numbers on my P3 gauge but my 0-60 was 3.45 . Not draggy but it was moving on the last revision. But I know it’s sub 4s all day long.

They did the same to me so I called and snagged a pair of oiled. I’ll use the dry in between cleanings. Make sure you use the RM at the end when referencing them.

It’s definitely quicker and some people are reporting 30 hp plus gains with the tune. It was also only 50° out as well so I know that helped
