^Yeah, I Loved how the cat-back sounded with just the UEl headers and stock front pipe! It has a great tone, Screams when your wot,but quiet at idle. And it likes to make a little pop shifting from 1st to 2nd... I will post some sounds clips after the install!

Haha, a "little" pop? If I shift from 1st to 2nd at 5,200 rpm it makes a loud huge firecracker pop! I have stock header and catless front pipe.

I'm guessing it will be louder once I install Tanabe the catless front pipe ... So it was brought to my attention that the DW injectors and fuel pump are not a good choice and they have been known to be faulty. I've jumped ship on those and ordered the Full Blown Walbro 485 Pump kit, and the Injector Dynamics ID 1050X's instead. Hopefully I can return the DW's or at least sell them as they were never installed or even opened.

This next week I will hopefully post up some progress. The clutch is going in at the same time. Thinking I will have to complete the break in period before the first tune revision?

The turbo was hitting the fan shroud so I ended up ordering the Mishimoto Slim fans and decided to just do the radiator at the same time. Mostly because I do want to track the car and I do want to take it on a long cross country road trip out to see my buddy in California and maybe do a track event out there with him... So its now getting installed. The turbo blanket is touching the fan still even with the new radiator and shroud. I'm thinking now about heat management. I want to wrap the down pipe and any electrical connections and hoses that could get melted...

How is this beast coming along? Had a chance to get any miles on it post install? Also curious about whether everything is wrapped up around the hot parts as you mentioned above. The turbo blanket touching the fan is definitely a bit odd considering you have a thinner, aftermarket rad (if I'm not mistaken).

Looking forward to your next update 👍

Thanks! Getting pretty close. I got the aem aft gauge but wasn’t really sure how to wire it up to the ecu for tuning. But then after asking on another fourm. People said the aem anaolog sensor is crap and not worth connecting to the ecu for tuning. Rather I’m going to use the stock wideband sensor for the tune and just use my gauge installed so I can monitor the afr easily. I sent Delisious tuning an email asking what they would prefer to tune with but havent heard back... Clutch is all installed and I think just the Aos system is left before tuning. What’s the advantage/disadvantage to a custom dyno tune?

Did DT ever get back to you about the use of AEM’s sensor? I’m about to buy their failsafe gauge.
