I think my gas gauge is broken.



Surprisingly, I'm not getting that bad mileage right now. I've been boost happy all last night, then this morning, and just now going to lunch. 75 miles on first 1/4 tank, scan gauge is reading 17mpg. I'm sure once I get used to the car, I'll be able to stay out of boost a bit more.

 

Congrats. Now get some numbers.

 

Number don't mean ____ . My butt dyno is reading off the charts right now, and personally, that's all I care about.

That and the fact that my exhaust is a lot quieter and from inside the car, the exhaust sounds like a V8 when I'm in boost. Not from the outside though. lol.

I'll have videos up tonight or tomorrow. side mount clips, interior clips, stand by clips, first start up (with stalling failure before I calibrated my F/IC).

 

congrats man!

 

you should be getting better, if not the same gas milage

 

yeah.. i get good mpg when i dont boost.. but i always boost so who cares..

for me dynoing isnt about the numbers.. its about being able to see where you need to make adjustments in your tune.. which makes mroe power.. if you dont care about the numbers, dyno make tweaks and dont tell anyone the final result!

 

If you saw how I've been driving, you'd know exactly why I'm getting low mileage. I cruise at 3000 rpm...so any acceleration = boost, and I don't take my foot off until my boost gauge beeps at me (peak set to 10 psi). . I'm sure once I get used to it, I'll get decent mileage. Not worried about it.

 

i dont even care about the gas milage.. haha i just boost and fill errrr up!!

 

How's this for awesome fitment. LOL FAIL







The conveniently located MAP sensor and Vacuum block. Along with multi colored zip ties, because I couldn't find any black ones. FIC connected to the T, off the boost gauge.



I'll have more of the finished product when I get the chance to actually take some shots of it. It's pitch black outside when I get home from work at 5:30pm, so I might have to wait til this weekend to get some good finished shots.


And just because I said I would use some kind of beverage bottle as a catch can, here it is. My friend, Tom, decided to add some labeling to it. It's no longer in the car.

 

yes if you could see my catch can you would cry its a pabst blue ribbon light lol

 

why do you have p tuing and dezod in your sig but no TT..

you sir are a traitor and should be whipped publicly!

 

youre a goddamn liar!!

yo
edit youur manifold is black not polished
r first post

 

Oh my bad, I ordered a polished manifold, but got black. Just like how I ordered the HKS SSQV, and the the Greddy. Or how I ordered a polished downpipe and got a black one. Or how I ordered 550cc injectors and got none.

I'll update it now.

 

lol you didnt get any injectors yet???? did you get your money back??? and i never got my air firlter

 

hahahaha

 

Fixed.

 

Oh, and let's not forget the turbo. I ordered a .82A/R, got .63A/R.

 

^ TT messed all this up?

OBAMA 08!
