Default Getting dynoed today

Well, today is the big day! Waiting for the flatbed to come to my friend's house to pick her up. 106 miles out to Slowhawk Performance in Mass. Aside from the recent goof up of buying a stage 1 meth kit, and a horrible turbo kit install - we are finally ready. The appointment is for about 9am, I am so happy and so excited to finally see what this puppy pumps out. I will post the dyno #s and some photos of the whole trip lol.

Well I had some bad luck lol.

The oil pump was cutting in and out.
The fuel pump was only producing 15 psi - we think its either the pump itself or the line has a crack in it leaking.
Also, decided to scrap the meth and just do a FMIC instead.
And removing the EGR nonsense.
I also didn't realize it takes 2-3 days to do SD tuning. I misunderstood during the many phone calls we had lol. So either way she needed to stay there.

Will be keeping you posted as I get new info.

Quick update - the fuel system was pretty beat that i swapped in.. so I had to ship out my stock in-tank assembly to save some cash to swap back in. looks like the regulator was messed with, etc. so end of this week isnt happening. it seemed probable that friday they'd be able to knock it out and then tune the next week so we will see wat happens.

thankfully its been rainy the past few days and this coming weekend is rain sat and windy and cool sunday here.. so i wont be too depressed cuz i dont have it lol - just hope I can get it to the car show thats coming up sunday after next
