COOL! IT'S HERE & I LOVE IT!

I just drove it to top it off with fuel, maybe 1/2mi total, but it's freakin awesome! Not much boost, maybe 5psi, but it sounds EXACTLY they way I had hoped. Quiet, deep & throaty exhaust & the Tial BOV sounds great too.

Thank you so, so much Aaron & Jose, I couldn't be happier!

For the time being, that's the best I can do. My wife took our kick ass camera with her to NYC, so my cellphone pics are it for now. Besides, it's dirty from the trip, it needs a bath.

Now I have to leave for work....:nono: But I get to drive her to work. :)

Only 5psi? That's going to be the first thing to change. I'm glad you got it and I'm glad it's as nice as you hoped it would be. Aaron and Jose come through again..............:bowdown:

Thanks everyone! I tapped a little deeper into the boost today since the roads dried up on the home. I hit fuel cut a few times when in 3rd around 1.2 bar, so I'll have to look into that. But, in 1st & 2nd, I was able to lay into it. Aaron, you were right, the waste gate vented to atmosphere is LOUD! It scared the shit out of some jackass in a new Charger trying to test me :biglaugh: . Honestly, it made my eye open wide too :icon_bigg . Afterwards, he backed down with a quickness :biglaugh:.....

Also, a gave the car a quick bath last night (2:30am), but since it was dark I couldn't soak in the beauty of the new paint. I *saw* it for the first time this afternoon, and damn does it look good!

Now to get my car up to Jay & Duane standards, I've eyeballed a few other things that need to be done....

So, yur gunna put a 7M back in it? ;)

Fuel cut? I didnt think the JZ motors had issues with fuel cut... Maybe a little boost leak or something? Check your couplers...

Cant wait to see it... Man... Looks really good...

They do have boost cut, but I believe the Emanage is supposed to eliminate that. We didn't have any fuel cut issues on the dyno, but maybe the change in temperature or atmosphere is doing it, or a boost leak like Reign said.
