Thank you.
I pulled the car out of the garage and noticed cords showing through my drag radials. I put on a set of 275/60/15's they look and fit great in my opinion.
Just dying to lay dark, black patches again...
I ported my wastegate hole, downpipe and changed my coolant with a really cool vacuum system. I may have had some air in the system because my temps were creeping up a little after radiator swap. Now they're back to normal. Also got the QTP electric cutout installed.
It's time for another round of tuning with the new set up. I hope to get back to the track in the next couple of weeks.
It sucks the system with so much vacuum the radiator hoses collapse. Then it sucks the new fluid and fills the system with all coolant, no air.

Lets see if I can post up a couple of videos. One is the car at idle with the cutout closed then opened with a little rev. The next one is just a cruise and I opened it up, the cutout. Cell phone audio isn't that great but you get the idea. This turbo sounds great.
My wastegate vacuum lines were routed incorrectly. With the Hallman controller you leave the top port on the wastegate open to atmosphere. I made some test pulls and the boost is under control. It's actually rock steady, with the internal gate the boost would fluctuate a few Lbs both directions, it no longer does this. I started out at 10 lbs and worked my way back up to 24 lbs. Tonight I'm going to log a few runs and turn it up to 26 lbs. So far so good, pulls really hard. I haven't made any logs with the cutout open yet. I'm curious how it will affect the tune.
My dual 11" Spals and Caspers harness came in, but don't think I'll have time to get them on before I go to the track. I want to get my tune squared away first. I'd like to be able to run both fans, need to do some reading first.

I logged a few passes with the new set up and made one very small VE correction. The tune is spot on with no KR and I feel it's safe. All will be well if the akly and fuel pumps hang in there. It's ready for another track day. Check out a screen shot of my logged run. Injector duty cycle is good, o2 correction is great, boost is nice and steady with the new external gate. These cars are great, my wife and I cruised around all day, went to a car show in comfort with a nice smooth quiet ride. And when we go to the track it's going to run mid to low 11's. I'm betting on low 11's by the way. I love this car.
Same here. You seem to have the right idea going with tuning your ride. I hope to learn enough to feel confident enough to do so some day.Thanks man, imagine how it would run if I knew what the hell I was doing,
Time for another update. I went to the track tonight, as usual it was packed and I knew I would only get one run. As before I didn't want to waste my run and low the tires off so I left real easy.
I went 11.53 @ 115.6
My new plan for next week is to set shocks to 90-10 and remove front sway bar for track day. If I can get the 60' down to the 1.5 range it's going to have a chance of running 11.1-11.2

One more thing, I set my front shocks to 90/10 so we'll see if I can get that 60 down. I know I don't need to run slicks to make this happen. I want to be able to still drive the car everyday, like I do now. My wife and I take the car out regularly if the weather is nice. With the new fans I could sit in traffic all day long and it wound never go over 168 degrees. I have the fans turning on at 165, seemed reasonable since I have a 160 stat.
