The colder the air, the better.

If your throttle response is shit, blame the size of your turbo (or your choona).

Okay, I had nothing to do, so a few more pics.
This is the Grimmspeed boost solenoid. As you can see it bolts on to the mount for the stock boost controller. The line on the far right plums into the turbo inlet pipe.

The centre vac hose from the above pic joins to the compressor inlet nipple, or in my case, a little further downstream on the piping here. The VF 34 didn't have a nipple on the compressor outlet, so this was added to the piping, and it was just easier. The nipple on the compressor outlet is blocked off and is sea hunter to access.

The vac hose on the far left in the original picture goes to the waste gate actuator. You will notice that this is different actuator to the ones in Saturday's pics, as mentioned yesterday. This is off a T28 that was lying around the garage. It is sprung to open around 9 psi. The boost controller is basically trying to trick the diaphragm in that can to thinking it is seeing 9psi in the inlet when it will actually be X psi.

The car is fitted with a turbosmart something-a-rather recirculating BOV. I just got tired of the loud turbo flutter. Please people, no external venting BOV's. You will bring shame about the liberty sleeper community.

Moving to the outside, yes, I am a douche.

The FMIC. The blue silicon hose will be painted black some time soon.

And the rear. The TCP mufflers really look good and strangely enough, actually get compliments from a lot of people. Tbear if you read this, you need to make these things for more cars. People love them. The my family sticker throws people off the scent a little.

Coyote ran an eye over the maps last night. He did a whole bunch of stuff I had no idea about, but I think absorbed some of it. Really interesting. I had played around with Haltech computers many years ago and was simply amazed at what could be done with a factory computer and the relatively user friendly windows based interface. I remember having to find an old lap top that could run dos and had a serial port so we could tune a Haltech e6k. Shit, I remember turning knobs on top of a microtech digi 1.

From the drivers seat the car drives a lot better with the new turbo, and after seems a little smoother after Coyote's adjustments. The car holds a nominal 17 psi at the moment, just a random number until the dyno. In this partly tuned state it is at full boost at 4000rpm, it will be on earlier after the dyno. It holds 17 until it bashes into the rev limiter now. With the vf34 it would be on full boost of 18 psi at 3400 rpm hold that to about 5700 and start tapering off to about 15 by redline.

The stock 2.0T injectors are at 75% duty now too, so really need to get those 2.5T injectors in.

Oh, and useless information: My autometer boost gauge over reads. It was indicating 20psi when the computer said it was running 17.2ish. It could be where I plumbed it in, or it could be that autometers are cheap pieces of shit made by enslaved children in some communist sweat shop. I guess their little dexterous hands would be good at installing the small components.

Great work

Just be careful with Coyote’s tuning, I hear he only tunes in the nude, cause his “bum dyno” gives accurate results.

The car will be tuned in a few months. I go back to work just as Coyote comes back from holiday, so like ships in the night we shall pass. The bum dyno says it is making more grunt, and even if it isn't it is much smoother to drive as it sits. I need to swap the injectors before the dyno, so I am waiting on that too.
Tony was kind enough to wear pants while tuning my car. He seems a lot more professional with trousers.

Just purchased a set of Kando equal length headers off Ebay. Should arrive next week. I'll have a good look at them when they arrive, but for the price, if they look like junk i'll just sell 'em on rexnet!
Sourced some TGV delete's too. And that, people, will be pretty much everything anyone can do to an unopened ej20.

Have I missed anything?

Anyone want to take bets on when it becomes "opened?"

All the internals are standard. ie. stock cam profiles, standard valve and port sizes, stock rods, rod bolts, bearings, rings, cast pistons ect. The idea sh3orb is now if i go to a built 2.5 all the external bolt on gear is done, probably save for some tweaking of the fuel system.
