Do it! I thought about doing bronze at one point but everyone said I'd be a Subaru poser cause of the blue. But the white makes it stand out more than the bronze would I think

That's good to know , so even if I got new hoses I can just get ones for the msp and they would still work either way , cool . Thanks . I have the iPhone 4S doesn't have torque app on it , but has several other apps that say they use the obd2 , but when you lookup the obd it says its for droid .. Kinda stupid I would say lol

oh ok, yeah I took mine back out and am running the stock ecu for now until I can get bigger injectors and drive up to Sam to tune it. He strongly suggested I get it tuned instead of driving on the the stock tune to be safe as a result of the GT30. Im not boosting so it's fine for now until I get the injectors he suggested for my build. Tuning on the stock injectors would be a waste of time since they would end up maxing out, so as soon as I get the new injectors, I'll be heading up to his shop for a "conservative" tune on the haltech to hold me over until the build. But anyway, since the haltech will be tuned using the internal map sensor, as soon as you install it and get a decent tune on it, you can take the maf sensor off and just tuck it somewhere. But leave it plugged up to avoid a CEL. That's what Im going to do when I get tuned.

I got 440s for sale if you want...
I put the ssafc back on and its running amazing right now so im not sure what ill do. Getting rid of the maf was my main reason for wanting the haltech in the first place. Now that the car runs great I dont really want to spend the time to tune it though.

so you are boosting close to 20 psi with no timing control? You will want to install the haltech eventually since MAF tuning only goes so far. Got a build thread or mod list anywhere? I thought about 440s, but with my goals, Im going bigger than those. That way, after the built motor goes in, I'll have more headroom with injector duty cycle when the time comes for a built transmission
Figured 440s would be too small for you, hell thats I dont have them installed anymore
Nope no build thread, my car is completely stock..... at least it looks that way from the outside.Maiello169

I told him I was going to keep the haltech out until I finished the build. Then I was going to install it once I got to his shop. But, he suggested I get it tuned now to be safe instead of driving on the stock tune. So, if I do end up buying the injectors I need, I may drive up there and install the injectors right before the tuning starts that way I can drive up there with no issues. So, it would be whenever I buy the injectors. Im still debating what I want to do. I wouldn't mind driving up there to tune once I got the injectors. If I did that, then I would already have a decent and conservative tune once the built engine goes in. Also, buying the injectors and tuning afterwards will be a pretty penny. So I would do that and save up a little more money to make sure everything is in place to finish the build. Sort of doing things in stages right now so I can keep a certain amount of cash on standby in between progress
Idk what to do guys......the guy fixing my car is trying to tell me fixing my car will probably end up costing me close to $4600....which is $2000 more than he originally quoted me. He blames it on the extra stuff I have added. But none of it would come even close to $2000......it's like 48 more hours at his rate......I really don't want to part with the car, it breaks my heart just thinking about it.....just can't see paying that much more.......
