What have you done to your MSP today?

[Knox Joe]

I can imagine... I live in PA, run around stock boost and my engine bay still gets hot as ****.

edit: and I purchased an AEM EMS 4

Can't wait to see how that turns out. I've heard good things about the new unit.

Seeing as you weren't ripped off and the quality is decent, I just ordered the same kit. What other things do I need to install, I have an SSQV and I know I need slim fans and a 2"-2.5" coupler for the turbo and how do I do the MAF? I still have some planning to do.

make it so it goes turbo->hot pipe->fmic->MAF->TB

Might want to grab a couple 90 degree bend couplers to have. You'll need either a SSQV flange or you can buy a pipe with a flange on it on ebay for cheap.

I'm going to attempt this minus the slim fans and see how it goes.

I bought a BOV already mounted on a black 2.25" pipe, and i found a 2.5"-3" reducer in my closet so I was thinking of getting a 3" 90degree coupler to run from the TB to the MAF then the reducer I have, then a short pipe and coupler, then the BOV pipe and coupler, then whatever I need to get to the FMIC shortest possible route.
Now I just need to read through the How-To thread for the 100th time.

Thanks for the help guys

turbo outlet is 2.25", the intake is 2"

 

[2.0t03speed]

turbo outlet is 2.25", the intake is 2"

that is incorrect intake is 2.25 and the outlet to the hotpipe is 2"

Just stay with a 2.5" coupler. The MAF is only 2.75 and you can squeeze a 2.5" coupler on there.

Ordered chargespeed sytle lip, waiting for it to arrive.

Can't wait to see how that turns out. I've heard good things about the new unit.

I'm pretty psyched as well. Was going to buy a Haltech but decided to try something a little different since I liked the FIC but it just doesn't work that smooth with our ECU. So I'm giving AEM another shot. Just need to get an ECU extension harness so I don't have to murder the stock wiring again.

If I can still scrounge up the money for a 505, I could probably see some gains of epic proportions. I might be due for some 440's soon.

Cant wait to do that mod....need new suspension first though

Things ive done to my MSP today...

I called it everything but a car. (curse words)
Wished my s*** bag thunder mani wasnt cracking itself apart.
Wished that it wasnt so hard to find a stock replacement, external wastegated, tubular mani.
Fixed yet ANOTHER coolent leak.
Still hate my tranny.

and well thats about it... i guess i could pretty much repost this post everyday because its pretty much a daily routine.

Oh and i spent a good about of time listening to my car idle like s*** and wish i wasnt colorblind to install my SSAFC.

FML! Ok im done ranting about how much im upset with the speed. I still loves her.
