ITS ALIVE!
Today we fired it up, Ryan had the idle smoothed out from the other night, we also had to replace the coolant temp sensor. Apparently the connector got corroded and was reading the wrong voltage. Well, we took it out on the street, and first impression of part throttle in 1st was amazing, barely touching the gas it just went forward like it was being pushed by a diesel truck, and when we came around the first turn and he hit it in 2nd gear, we damn near shit ourselves, he pressed it to about 1/4 throttle and our ears were met with the sound of the wastegate screaming open, shoulders being pressed into the seat, and ear to ear smiles that would no go away. Turning around and coming back to the house, generous throttle in 2nd gear produced a sideways action in the rear end, and even bigger smiles. Now, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves like before, even i suggested that we park it for the night, Tomorrow is the day we dial everything in, and we are looking for a dyno session saturday if its possible.
I cant believe what it did at just 6psi of boost, i don't think i can imagine what its going to do at 14...
