TM Kit installed, now running
I finally got my car running again this weekend but since I haven't installed my external wastegate I couldn't really take it for a real ride. I did take it for a drive though, carefully watching the boost gauge I took it up to about 9psi. Felt really good, the new turbo sounds pretty mean Too!
I ran into a problem installing the electric fuel pressure guage, I won't be able to install it on the fuel rail. There is no room for it with the relocated throttle body. If I could find some sort of T adapter with two o-ringed fuel fittings and one 1/8" fitting I could probably install it down at the frame.
Next weekend I will install the racegate and hopefully do a little tuning. It's encouraging getting this things running again.
Take a look at the latest pics with my custom MAF pipe. It worked out pretty good, I just ordered some 3" mandrel bent aluminized pipe from JCWhitney and coupling hoses/clamps from Ramchargers. I made a custom bracket to support the MAF sensor which bolts to the exhaust manifold at the same place the dipstick does.
