the throttle is easy to do.

It took a while to get everything together for the interior. I was lucky to get the hatch cover for so cheap. Now I just need to clean it up.

There are a couple parts I need to paint still. The demister vents, passenger A-pillar, ash tray (just dirty). And a couple parts I need to retro fit. The S5 trim pieces in the rear (with the lights) don't match up. It will take a little extra work to get them mounted and to light up.

I decided to upgrade the rest of the fuel system now. Running the Aeromotive FPR and AN fittings to the rails. Staying in series now to save money, but will eventually run parallel.

Fuel system is just about there. I went with the Aeromotive Fuel Pressure regulator and an running -6 fuel lines to the rails. I will be running -8 to the tank next, and then changing the fuel rails to run in parallel.

Now I will be able to tell if there is an issue with the fuel pressure at a glance... Finally. This could've saved me a lot of guess work earlier.

Video Time! Can I not embed video on this board?

Some video comparison of the Apexi N1 dual exhaust with and without muffled tips.

Here is what the new exhaust set up sounds like with the muffled tips in. A little 'tin' sound too it.

Here is without the tips... much more bass.

A little 2nd gear pull.

Look when you hear the wastegate open, the car shoots off pretty quick.

Man, theres a huge sound difference. Your car sounds good without the silencer tips, so IMO I would definitely scrap those tips.

ya, i agree. those tips sound too rattled.

Here is a 4th gear pull from about 3000 to 6000 RPMs. I have a 9psi wastegate spring, but you can see, in 4th, it gets up to about 12 psi. The car is tune for that range, so it isn't a big deal... The turbo is just letting me know it wants to be opened up some more!!

The outside temp was around 70*F. I am running 50/50 water/methanol. It's great to see the AIT drop under boost like that.

I spent the day mounting my Lambda gauge in place of the stock (worthless) clock. It was a little tricky. What do you think?

A little free advertising for some companies I've used... To get a sticker on the outside, you have to give ME stuff ;)

The radiator panel just cleans up the engine bay SO much.
I should be getting matching rims in a week or two. Then I'll be looking to install a small front mount intercooler.
