Hopefully not too loud. Might have to get a slip in baffle. My buddy thinks it's location will heat the tire, but all my 2 dozen plus foxbodies tailpipes were 1-2 inches from the rear tires (as all are) with no issues.
Worse case scenario, I'll chop it a littler shorter and dump it towards the ground.

A six pack of purple haze was my motivation to finish this tonight. Picked up the coldside from my buddies. I mocked it, he welded it. It's ebay (CXRacing) stuff that came in shitty black. He sandblasted it at work for me. First time back on all 4's with the additional weight of the turbo stuff.
Anyway, here's the ****:

Needs a tune, but it's ALIVE! Less than 10 months ago the car was a 4 cylinder/automatic.

Drove it around a bit yesterday. Spent most of the day trying to get it to run, and putting a base tune on it. Had some issues with my pcm though. Has a corrupt file, vcm id showing yyyyyyyyyy. Wouldn't let us license it, pulled the car to the stealership and they couldn't get it to flash (was going to put a stock camaro tune on it so we could then license it).
Finally, my buddy just pulled the pcm out of his z06 which is getting a L92 swap right now. A few hours of adjustments and It was somewhat driveable.
Was running a 2bar map sensor. Ordered a 3bar, so I don't have to pay an extra credit for the OS (and most boost).
And finally, my powersteering lines already cooked and exploded yesterday, so I ordered some DEI aluminized wrap, and will be getting some steel braided lines from work.
Long day...

After an entire day of dicking with the tune, it's running decent. Running purely off the small spring in the WG right now, making a measly 5psi. Feels great. Waiting on a 3,000cfm fan (my 1,150 isn't cutting it anymore), and my hallman boost controller, then i'll put the bigger spring in and crank it up a bit.
Short shifting because the car wasn't liking the old NGK TR5's that were in it. Now have BRE7F's and it feels much bueno-er.

Well, my aeroforce interceptor already took a ****. Not even 24 hours. Has a 1/4" horizontal line right through it.
