Got the car back, I will probably change the spark plugs tomorrow and do some more tuning. Mike, I will come out tomorrow night, I want to try something to your car to help the idle out. Craig, call me later, I kinda feel like going on post and fixing the exhaust rattles and adjust the pinion angle while were at it. Don't know if we will ba able to get it on a drive on lift.

i don't remember where i saw the adapter....and now that i think of it it might have been for engine oil temp....but i did a quick search and found these 2 posts...might help you in your search.

http://ls2.com/forums/showthread.php?p=12606079

http://www.ls2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=654515

the second post is a guy that made a T-fitting adapter like you were talking about.....but looks like the Ligenfelter might be your best choice....

i also came across a post where a guy said he got one from street and performance so i guess you could try there too.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/8511094-post8.html

doesn't seem like something that will be easy to come by...by from the little searching i did there are adapters out there...they just seem hard to find....you might be better off just drilling/tapping or doing the t-fitting thing...

Speed density is cool because you can get rid of the MAF restriction on a big motor that needs a ton of air. For a nitrous car like the one described in your setup I'd leave the MAF on.

I'm about to convert "2slow2Flurry-ous" car to an M6, from an Auto and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to sell his A4 parts to you. Hit him up. He's in this thread 1 page back.

I took him on the last run, was able to get things right but I couldnt full throttle the whole time because of the slipping. was getting nervous. rather have a bad tranny as opposed to a bad engine and tranny.

Looked at what tune was in there and it seems running abit more timing than necessary and feels like im running rich(hard to tell without wideband).

Was spinning tires at 1500rpm, not so good lol
