Default Finally boosting, woohoo!

Well guys, I finally did it. I got the rest of my piping and my shiny new 8:1 FMU came in. All I can say is AWESOME. It's not "finished" yet, as there is no BOV mounted and the piping needs to be cleaned up a bit, but I'm pushing about 6 PSI. Damn, once that thing hits the boost, it really throws you back. A lot like the old nitrous days but much sweeter. Especially when that open Tial belches exhaust forth!! Hopefully I can get it finished in the next week or so and then on to having the piping powder coated ... I'll post pictures in a bit.

Yes we do! You've been a big help and a great friend and resource. And I thought I was the only one up this late at night.




Note the one rubber coupling from Lowe's ... glad I spent this four bucks so I could boost until I can have a straight pipe welded up in there.

Hehe...I was at my shop when I took those pics. A cop pulled up nosing around. Guess they don't want people stealing from Grapevine's only computer shop. Good thing for me, because I would go broke if somebody robbed the place. Well, I guess not, since I'm already going broke paying for all the alarms and insurance now!
