I'm still having problems with over boosting/misfiring specially In 4th and 5th. I have my boostvalve turned almost all the way down and regapped my plugs from .028" to .025" with no success. It's a rapid misfire around 3-4k then it hauls again.
I'm also still struggling with overheating at stop lights on warm days, even if I drive normally and come to light or stop for any period over 30 seconds my temp starts to rise until the next tick over from middle (then the other fan kicks in and cools it down)

 

Got my icm delete kit today, but I won't probably won't have enough time at home to put it in till Monday. Also got my VHT wrinkle red paint for my valve cover today. I plan to paint my valve cover with the wrinkle red, get a powdercoated black coil cover, and polish (fully, gunna take forever) my intake manifold. Should look good

Almost forgot, I found a guy selling his two piece clear cornered projector headlights yesterday. Got them for $80 shipped time to finally get rid of the ugly stock ones

 

Pics or it didn't happen.

 

I'll definitely post pics when it's all done, I'm really not looking forward to the process of polishing it but it will hopefully be worth it in the end

 

Sounds like a plan!

 

Change of plan, my intake manifold will remain silver (can't justify the time to polish it). The coil cover will still be gloss black, but I decided against the red valve cover. I want to do something more unique than red/black even though my car is red. Pics up soon

 

Metallic Burnt Orange, came out a lot better than I expected. Definitely nailed the uniqueness I was aiming for; throttle body is going the same color (boy was that a pain to clean and sand)

 

I think I asked this before but what gauge is that and did you drill out the stock vent or is it something you bought? I've asked about so many boost gauges and installs I forget.


Also I noticed when you bought the car it had the Carbonio intake, doesn't look like you have that anymore. Why is that? I thought that is what most people hope to do someday. Where can you get them from I heard they run around $150ish.

 

I drilled the vents with a hole drill bit. I bought the carbonio for ~$150 if I remember correctly, I really liked it; sounded and looked great. I sold it because it doesn't fit my 3" maf without modification (and I just couldn't drill that piece of art lol)

 

All wired up. Got 034's icm delete kit for cheap from a friend, very easy install.
