Some day I will, if not just for the sound of IRTB's. Glorious music they make.

I did runs with it always open and always closed on the dyno with my old FM2/2560 setup, and yeah, it makes a small difference. It was pretty much the same as naturally aspirated, both in percentage gain and in crossover point.

AIUI, the crossover point should be based on engine RPM and the speed of sound in the intake charge. Mach changes a lot with temperature, but not much with pressure, so if your intercooler is working well then that lines up with the theory.

Oh nice, that's really good to know. We've always theorized the outcome in a boosted application but I think you're the 1st to report having done it. Well, I think curly too, but I think he was experimenting more with gutted vs intact (with shocking results)

BTW for anyone needing new lower seals for their ID1000's you need the -204s. Here is where I got mine, which Bryan informed me is actually Injector Dynamics website itself...

Wait, you just needed the cushion seals that go between the injector and the head? I've got like 3 sets of them, I would have mailed them to you for free. Or in exchange for bread.

I have a plastic baggie with a grip of stock ones. They are used but serviceable. Rleete, you are welcome to a set of 4 for the price of shipping

They can, yes. What kind of stickers? I have a bunch from a BBQ place I visited the last time I was in Texas, or I can include rainbow triangle stickers I picked up the last time I was in San Francisco, perfect for a Miata vent window.

My favorites are these:


You can easily stick them to the bumper or below the tailgate on a pickup truck where no one will notice them unless they are seeing it from eye level. Prefect for lifted pickups.

Bake bread? Hell no. Cookies, occasionally, but not in quite a number of years.

Jeff got his stickers, but promptly snubbed me and replaced them. I am forever wounded over this, and have lost all faith in humanity. Or Bakers.

E02K, pm incoming.

I wish this was the Injector seals but it is an equally important package. Dropped my Brown line torque wrench and the display/torque broke all to hell, so I ordered another that seems way less plasticy and has at least a foot of length over the old one. Nice case too. 25-250 tq. Backlit screen, all the beeps and led colors.

Hopefully this one sees as much use as the old one.

Certain harbour freight tools aren't bad, any power tools though die pretty damn fast.

I do but it has been sitting on the rear patio without a valve cover so the internals ain't so hot. Plus Lazarus already scavenged the cams off it.

Also linky for those that are interested in the Tq wrench specs.
