Figured I might as well do a quick update since I got on xanga to check out davonne’s post about my birthday party. Which by the way was the best birthday ever!!! Davonne made me dinner and surprised me with a movie room setup I’ve been planning on doing for a long time. She had the furniture all aranged with food supplied and I setup the tech stuff. Lcd projector, laptop with vongo, and some 2.1 speakers. All in all a very cool movie room. She even decorated with some old movie posters from starwars and batman.
On the turbo, since the last post I’ve put in 440cc injectors and and using an smt-6 to control the fuel, but the vortech piece of crap is gone. So after a long battle with tuning it’s running rather well and with little fuel mileage decline(about 2-3 mpg). I’m running 8-9 psi of boost and love it! Have to be extra careful in rain now though. When boost kicks in 2nd gear it’ll spin the tires and get wheel hop. Pretty impressive for a car that started out with 105 whp.

Car Update!
A few things have changed since these pics mainly that I got in somefittings so I’ll be using my stainless steel feed line for oil now. Not to mention that it’s done and running about 3-4 psi right now(to be upped to ~8 shortly)!!! I’ll have to get some more pictures of it finished to post up.

My very pretty jethot 2000 header and dp. (coated for freeeeeeee!!!)
I ended up welding the pan some more, plus a good cleaning up with the wire brush + angle grinder and a coat of black primer.
My impressive air compressor setup.
Thanks to Davonne for not killing me for all the time that went into this and to Jordan for about 24 hours of labor (just this project), probably months of his life have now been spent on the car.

Turned it up to about 5psi now… I think there is something wrong with my wastegate acuator though. I have it turned almost all the way in and it’s only at 5.
Anyways just ask davonne, man that made a huge difference!! I’m helping jordan out with his truck next weekend so i might turn it up somemore then. Still trying to get to 8. hope I don’t have to get a new acuator, they are about another 100, but mainly would be a huge pain to change out. (completely removing the turbo once again).

I sent in my turbo manifold and down pipe so I’m getting about 150 bucks worth of jethot 2000 for free.
Davonne and lily are great too. Lily tried really hard to start crawling today. She is getting SO BIG!! She looks nothing like a baby anymore. Now she just looks like a little kid. It’s soo cute. We love her soo much. I love you Davonne!!!!
