I'm going to return it down the passenger side.



Then dust off that turbo kit you got buried in the garage and get to it.
Keep us posted when you get your results.

I'm running what I believe to be a custom SpeedInc IC. I think it's a 24X12X6 Bell Core. 3.5" in and out. Dont ask me what IAT's I'm seeing because I don't know yet. This is one of the main reasons that I am keeping the boost low for right now. I ordered the 91' Typhoon screw in IAT but they gave me the ECT sensor by accident so I have to go exchange it next week.

Where did you get the AIT sensor from? And are you running a MAF?

No MAF. IAT was from Bennett Auto Supply I believe.

Starting with my fat ***.

The car weighs 3450 with 1/2 tank of gas. I weigh just over 300. The AC is out. Bumpers are out. Back seats are out. I cut away the extra metal behind the front fenders. Door bars are in but I dont have a cage. I do have a sub and amp back there but that's only 35 lbs or so. This is a true blue street car.

Subframe? If you mean the Kmember, it's a tubular turbo BMR piece. A Arms are stock. Interior looks like this but the button functions have changed and the A/C controls have been removed and replaced with a panel an a single gage in the middle.



Front seats are stock. I did replace the power rack with a mechanical rack for the driver's seat.

Airbags are out. Heater core, blower motor, ducting, all that **** is out. I even cut the bumper horns off. Those are heavy.

I used to daily drive the car before when it was a nitrous car running 9.33. Not anymore without AC. The heat isn't the worst part. Nope. It's the rain.

My rear suspension consists of Jegster adjustable LCAs, Spohn relocation brackets, Jegster adjustable tunnel mounted torque arm, Eibach Road course springs (stock height), comp engineering 3 way adjustable shocks, S60 rear with 3.73 gears. I put all the **** in and limped it to Chassis Engineering (they happen to be right down the street) and gave them $120 to set it up to hook. Picked it up and haven't messed with it since. In the front I have the QA1 Race single adjustables. I need to tighten them up a little bit for next time out.
