DIY kit not done, but it's ready to start. Sneak peak of my set-up too .. YouTube vid
 
My sis has the video camera, which SUCKS, I guarantee it's just sitting there too.. Anyway here is a short, bad-quality vid of the first start-up. Because I'M excited. I'm using my $149 Gateway digital camera. It's a little "amateurish."

Pimp. Open DP at the moment?

UofACATS 09-22-2006 05:34 PM

Hah! yeah, open d/p. The sucka won't line up with the studs coming off the turbo. Think I'll just loosen the turbo, attach d/p, then tighten everything up real fast.

We'll see what happens. It still needs a few things before it's ready to rock.

Thanks man, check the vBGarage for a couple pics.

We'll see if I can get the CAI to stay..

miatamania 09-23-2006 12:45 PM

Ah...thats cool, does it help up there, it just seems like its nicer being out of the engine bay...:D

UofACATS 09-23-2006 01:16 PM

Kind of a necessity since my maf adapter is so long, but it should provide a real difference, especially since my intercooler is maybe not the most efficient thing in the world. I'm a real believer in the turbo CAI, so i'm going to try and make it work. (I'll probably end up with two intakes, switchable depending on conditions)

miatamania 09-24-2006 09:09 PM

what do you mean on conditions, what would be the downside to an intake like that?

Weather conditions.

I don't want water to get sucked into the intake, so if I were to be out for a while, or a trip or whatever, I would want a normal intake. The only reason I'm playing with the idea is because it's a non-daily driver. And it looks cool :gay:

UofACATS 09-24-2006 09:22 PM

I attached the downpipe today. I'm putting another vid on youtube as we type!! :gay: :gay: 5 min

UofACATS 09-24-2006 09:48 PM

In car. Downpipe attached. Open d/p
 
Have a couple minutes to waste?

The timing on the video is messed up. Not that it really matters.

RicanmiataRacer 09-24-2006 09:51 PM

hmmmm....sounds nice!

:cool:

It lets me know I only need minimal muffler mods on my exhaust.

I'll probably only need a decent size perforated straight-through core. Good to go.

miatamania 09-24-2006 11:05 PM

lol...straight exhaust...pfft.

Yeah I didn't think about the water issue...as a DD that idea is out lol.

you could just make a cover for the filter out of some 16 gauge steel or something for the weather situations.
