All or Nothing: My 3L Turbo Install

[Asymmetric]

Very Sexy clean install!

Thanks, all, for the encouragement and compliments!

My new injectors are in the mail. Once they arrive I can reinstall the upper and check thoroughly for leaks. My lease ends in two weeks, so for the time being, I need to focus on finding somewhere to live and moving.

Check back around Labor Day for updates.

Ha! I debated whether to post the update here or in my 3L thread. In a nutshell, I installed new injectors and fixed three vacuum leaks, but the car still doesn't idle right.

I couldnt help but notice that your not using T-clamps but instead your using gear clamps if it were me i would be changing them all to T-camps on the pressure side.

It's not like he's going to blow out either type of clamp, T-clamps on less than 15psi is probably overkill unless you like the looks.

the looks are sweet haha... got a point but the regular gear clamps done seal as well also they like to cut into the silione coupers

5 or 7 ply silicone couplers FTW! Who cares if the first ply starts to get cut through!

For the money, I gotta agree with Reebs!

I only spent half a day on the car, and she needs a lot more attention, but I got some things done that were overdue.

Since I'm running pig rich, Tom gave me a new tune to try. My assignment was to install the tune and log fifteen parameters using the XCalibrator. I had some communication errors until reading the SCT Forums, wherein I learned that LiveLink 4 is needed to upload the log configuration but LiveLink 3 is needed to download the log data. I started up the car and blew soot out the tailpipes, leaving streaks on the driveway. Sorry about that, Ed! I bet my cat is pushing daisies... With Tom's approval, I finally experienced the sheer joy of boost. I can't wait until we get the mixture right, and I can put the pedal to the floor as every stoplight turns green!

yes Gary
the excitement will only get better as you apply some real boost to that engine you will see when you get to 10psi it get crazy fast. Keep up the gppd work with datalogging and we will get it square once you get the snakes dead......... Gary you have a wideband? this would make things much easier, too. joey
