as long as you know which one is which it sure will.

you could if you just opened it right as you were boosting or right when you hit a certain RPM. Mine takes about one second to open completely. I didn't get a RPM or boost actuated one because I wanted to be able to open it whenever, or leave it closed whenever. If you have the actuated ones you can't really play around with it as much. It is fun to just open it up at low RPMs because you hear the turbo just spinning and it gets some looks.

NA = no-turbo. Was hoping to place it after the midpipe and before the stock muffler and use an MSD Window switch to keep it closed below 4000 rpm. If it takes one or two seconds to open instead of a tenth of a second, it'll be too slow to respond. And if I leave it open all the time, no turbo = no torque at low rpms to make up for the lack of back pressure = teh suck.
My only other choice is to have it at the muffler, but if it's there, I can just use a screw-on cap.
I've got 90% of the bolt-ons I can do to the FS already, it's just that I need the stock muffler in place as my baby can't sleep in the back if I've got a big old fart can back there.
Oh well, go on with the turbo discussion... (peep)

here is the manual, find out what color wire you need for your source, I'll look in the car for which wire you need and take a shot of a grounding point.

damn battery died, so it is charging. If you peel down teh carpeting on the passenger side you will see a large shint metal shield covering. This is covering your ECU. If you look to the top left or bottom left there are bolts connecting the shield to the chasis. You can ground on either of those bolts.
Another option would just be to use the radios ground. Black wire off the radio, I believe for your 12V source off the radio the wire is yellow or red, anybody else know which one would be better? I think the yellow is your Constant 12V memory wire and the red is switched, but I might be wrong, don't really remember because I always use a volt meter to check my wires when installing radios and that was awhile ago that I did mine.

have you ever pulled a head unit out before? easiest way for me to do it is remove the small suround plastice from the radio and then if you have the keys to the head unit use those or if not you can use two butter knives, they insert down the sides of the radio and then you pull the whole thing out. pull it most of the way out, disconnect the wiring harness, antenae, rca connections and set the radio to the side while you work on the other wiring. pass the wires for the cutout through teh back behind the steering column reach through the radio hole and grab your wires pull them up and splice to appropriate wires. reconnect all the wires to the back of radio and slide radio back in, you might have to push it once it is mostly in to get it to lock back into its postion. replace the plastic trim. by plastic trim I am not referring to the cars plastice dash trim, i mean the small little ring of plastic surrounding just the radio, it should be the same color and texture as teh radio.Myspeed12 said:
