well I got my perrin short ram in, but I am having issues.
Its dark out now so Im done for the night, the car has a real bad idle if it can manage to at all, gonna check everything in the morn to see if its a loose clamp, or that vaccume hose. I really hope my maf hasnt s***. ANyway any input on the problem?
 
is your perrin sri the revised one? i know people were having stalling issues before with the older version.
 
well I did reset the ecu ITs daylight again so im going out to troubleshoot for vacume leaks, I think its the revised one is thre a good way to tell.
 
OK I made new seals for everything and retightened all the clamps, I also replaced the bad perrin intake element because it would not clear the hood and it got all ripped up down by its clamp. I put on a k and N cone filter, wich I think looks better anyway. Its idling good now although its actualy about 200 rpms than it used to (500 instead of 7). Its running fine and you can hear the turbo. You can also hear a s***-ton of compressor surge. That will be my next bit of work, some slim line fans and a bov/bpv to eliminate the compressor surge. Im posting pics of my current settup in a new thread here in a little bit.
