We did get an answer from Chris at HPT last week, we are behind a lot of other projects, I would assume they think will be more profitable, and the code is a bitch. BSR has not cracked the code, they are not adjusting the boost tables they are adjusting the boost solenoid settings and AFR according to Bill Hahn. If they had cracked the code, why would so many people still be getting limp mode with the BSR and why no stage II yet.

HKS makes high performnce parts for Supra's and other Japanese cars, uh wouldn't that be the deffinition of "RICER" I mean that's is where the term came from. If they made parts for Italian cars wouldn't you call them spaghetti.

it sure wouldn't hurt for a few of yall to log on at HPT and show some interest..( yes if you are reading this thread i'm talking to you...its not fair to have LG saying i have a 100 friends waiting with $$ in hand and even if "they do believe him".....it doesn't make the same IMPRESSION as a 100 different people taking 5 minutes to register and ask themselves !...or btf begging weekly... just some support for the guys !! heck if 10 of yall ..signed in and asked / reminded them WE ARE watching and waiting , not thrilled to hear they are taking a break/ tabled this project to DO OTHER THINGS !!..... a lil righteous indignation...a polite inquiry..

...just hold your hand up and ask to be "counted" ..tell them LG does have a 100 friends with $$$$$$$$$$$$$........

for dayum sure if it was "ready" already your butts would be THERE seeing whats what......how about a lil support !!........it can't HURT
if the "squeaky wheel- gets the grease " theory has any merit .....( you know it does ) show them the MONEY...or let'm hear a squeak !...just get on there and post you have your money in hand if they ever get'r done........ ....... i'm just screaming "buddy system "..... the more $$$ that shows interest the more resources , possibly allocated , the better the chance that "priority" will refocus !...shelf something else..... its a dang business...... they can't ignore interest / customers waving $$$ ..hahahaha .......but if its just the same 3-4 people whining ........ .....the ones that already sent their $$..... welllllllllll........ ..... thats just my perspective ! and it ain't much to ask.........

I could not have said it better myself, I only started screaming because BTF made me. Now get over there and post and quit telling us about how you painted your calipers.

I know right now they are looking for help, and that they are a bit overwhelmed. However, it is always a good idea to let them know that there are people that require support.

The Fbody guys are good for now... Lets get some other stuff done here.

Okay. downpipe is done, almost moment of truth time.
1)Gotta change the oil before firing it up with the new turbo.
2) Make adapter to weld to driver's side pipe for the MAf element.
3) finsih making a styrofoam mess and layup intake pipe.
I figure about 4" of Sillycone (hee hee) bellows ought to handle engine rocking.

Well, a pretty productive night.
Double checked all connections and bolts on the turbo.
Changed the oil.
Drew up the prints for the "scoop" and "block" for the factory PCV system. They will bond to the carbonfiber intake.
Removed the driver's side Charge pipe. This will have the MAf element, Iat2 and BOV in it.
I have some 3" aluminum u-bends in stock, but the pipe is 2.5" near the bumper and 2.75" at the TB elbow. kinda goofy jumps in dia. I'm considering laying it up in carbon as well.
It's purely to make things smoother, but I havent talked myself into it totally. Sure would look sweet.
How about moving the IAT2 to the passenger side pipe? Then we could monitor temp drop still and add pressure drop to the equation.
Since HPT isnt done yet, we'll have to use the voltage clamp. But I can stick a extra lead into the pigtail, before the Zener Diode for you to pipe into your HPT/Dashhawk. Once you setup the 3bar table into the PID you have pre-intercooler chargedata yet clamped PCM feed. Groovy.

Also, does anyone know if this is 3 bar as in 0 to 44psi (100-400 KPA) or -15 to 28.8psi (0-300kpa)?
