Default M6 turbo guys rejoice

The first Proto 2 of the 2 step hit the car tonight <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I'm quite pleased w/ the changes <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

Solid RPM control, everywhere. No drivability impact. Had some noise problems causing hard starts and missing while driving. All problems look to be solved.

and the best part <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

3 psi at 4500 on the stutter, w/ the cutouts capped <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Uncapped i should pick up a pound or 2

It's cold and dark, so video comes tomorrow <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Hitting the button while moving, going WOT and let ting the boost build, then release....

Instant 12 psi from 3 psi, and lots of tire smoke <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> in any gear <img src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" border="0" alt="[jester]" />

damn winter and drag radials <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Yeehaw! When do I get to test and buy it? I'd love to have one next weekend when SDR opens as well as a shift light since my seller dropped off the face of the earth. We may finally have the best of both A4/M6 worlds! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

I want to make sure i shake it down really well before i start handing it off in a pre-production form.


And, i gotta get some more connectors. Those suckers ain't cheap <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" /> @ packard

Harlan,

I get the car next week, and I'm having APE retune it with LS1 Edit.

Let me know how much or how many cases <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I think all will benefit equally <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

consistant launches here we come <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />

I've been beating up the prototype for a few days now, all looks good.

Got on the e-way with it today.

seems the 4500 RPM setting is just about in my e-way sweet spot for a race, 70 MPH <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Hit the stutter and go WOT, it was building 5 psi and holding 70 MPH. Let go, and it was like a launch from 70, no more of this rolling into the boost. BAM!!! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Still finalize parts suppliers/sources. The connectors are still proving to be the price hit. Not to mention all the wire in the harnesses. Crap adds up i'm afraid. Still gotta get an idea of how long each one it gonna take to put together.

Hey man. I eagerly await this to hit the 'market'. Though the drivetrain woes aren't straitened out yet on my end, I'll be interested in this when the time comes.

You don't need any #14AWG red or black do ya? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

It's not much but I may be able to get you about 100 or so feet of each color.

AWESOME! I cant wait for my dad to ride in my car with the 2 step. 1st thing he will say is "oh ****..it's missing bad!" and then I can "drop the hammer!" Harlan your engine looks like mine....dirty and cluttered <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> People have asked me why I didnt clean it up more and my response has always been...if you got the hood up....something is wrong. If nothings wrong I'm driving it! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Harlan...you are The Man! You never cease to amaze me.

I can't wait to see your car launch at the track with it. There's such a big difference launching a turbo car at even 3 psi vs. off-idle. That thing is gonna fly..... <img src="graemlins/formula.gif" border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" />
