euro spec intake manifolds have the EGR provision aswell AFAIK. My '94 does atleast and I bet the later models too.

I know I don't post much here, but I wanted to chime in and say a couple things.

1. damn.
2. will and andrew, congrats. That's really fast. I think my car has probably better throttle response than 99% of turbo cars out there. But there is definately a difference between that and cars with instant throttle response.
3. I've lived outside of California too long. My records are going to fall. Congrats in advance for doing it. I'm pretty sure it will be a combo of the people and cars in this forum...

Don't forget me!!!! :cry:

don't worry, I could never quit you.

brb, gotta herd sheep.

Still has EGR
Slightly bigger runners
Slightly more plenum volume
TB has less obstructed flow to plenum
No VICS or VTCS

Might guess it makes a tad more power. Won't know 'til March or so though. Moving to new shop in 4 weeks.

I need one of those.

For serious, forget my ITB idea, furk.


Just saw this, hah. I take these words with great appreciation!

LOL I've been talking about PTFB and the solution since about 2001. This is why I use a 5 psi wastegate can and then use EBC to raise it to 10.

One of the nice things about the AEM is you can use a 3D MAP of target boost, with TPS and RPM as the axes.

Same here, I use the boost target per TPS & RPM to raise my 7psi WG spring pressure to 14. Works pretty well on smoothing out the torque feel.

You can also run an adjustable pressure relief valve inline to your MBC to control boost onset.

Really?

That wing needs bigger strakes/plates, or whatever we're calling them now.

Very cool to be seeing times being dropped further and further

endplates?

Seriously, why not just mount them to the outsides of the quarter panels at the bumper seam.

that's what I've done before. duct taped to the body, so in theory cause air separation at the rear, like a Prius/Insight.
but had too much rear down force, had to keep cranking up the rear wing. center of the wing is actually pointed up 2 degree in that picture. doing that, side plate will no long line up with the body.

a bit ugly, so I will put back stock end plate.

thanks to you. you helped us fixed start issue. and saw your post on transient throttle, which fixed most of the stuttering issue by noon.

this beat Savington's previous record by 0.1 sec. but to be fair, there was with a chicane repavement 2 months ago, which is worth 0.25 - 0.5 second depending on who you talk to.
