ummm ok?

 

Wheres the tech??????

 

You need more gauges

 

be nice, thats gunna be sweet

 

I like it so far, a lot. What car did that console come from?

 

i needed the gauges because when it was stolen they took the factory ones...i got them off of ebay for cheap....i knew people were going to clown on them oh well who cares..the center console i got out of a sedan at the junk yard...i had 2 ..just sold the other one on ebay...

 

i love DIY threads. good luck mang.

Looks like your gauge cluster is intact to me....

Doesn't the glove box continually bounce around as well?

That is a pretty clean-looking sedan though.

 

well i found a gauge cluster in the junk in good shape...but i never disconnected the old one

 

I don't see why the way your gauges are should matter to anyone. You like it, and that's what matters.

I like it, but I wouldn't want to have to turn my head all the way to the glove box to read my gauges..

 

for the most part, i really like it

 

some more stuff came in the mail


450 dsm injectors and resistor box

aem tru cam gear

 

Awesome, what kind of numbers are you expecting with this setup so far?

 

looking good! thats my favorite color sedan

 

boosted ef sedans are the ****...I rock one..

madfun.

 

ZZZZZZZZZZz......sedans are hot!

 

thinking maybe 220-230.. i hope

 

good luck on the build

 

Im liking it man......

 

looks good so far...quick question is that a tial knock off wastegate ???? if it is that will be your biggest mistake sell it and get the real thing...i had a knock off once it never performed properly and was the reason i blew my first turbo motor...if it is the real deal than don't bother with my comment im just trying to look out...

lookin good

 

I LOVE the stupe so far, atleast the goal HP should be pretty fun on the street

One thing you should get rid of, and I speak from personal experience, is that AEM can gear, they switched over from the 3 bolt to a 5 bolt design. The 3 bolts slightly loosen and change timing on the fly. I got lucky and noticed that my car was idling bad and dont have a cover so I noticed it. Ive seen/heard of people ******* up motors. For a while they were doing free upgrades, but Im pretty sure that stopped.

Sell it
