It's alive!!!

Installation manual stated there could be some noises emanating from the supercharger until the traction fluid warmed up (2-3mins)... ecstatic to say there were no weird noises on startup at all! The traction cooler operated as normal. No coolant leaks or fuel smells as far as I could tell. The only thing that was off but expected was the smell coming out of the exhaust system... that smell can be attributed to the new exhaust manifold and front pipe. It wasn't even that bad though.

The only issue I had was getting the Flash editor to communicate with the ECU when reading and flashing the tune...it communicated on the second attempt when reading and the fourth attempt when flashing. The pins inside the connectors were recessed and one was pushed a lot further up than the others. I had to reseat them for the flash editor to power on and communicate.

I'm going to wait until late next week or the weekend to take her out on the road... I should have my aero kit back from the painter by then... I need to have that installed before I go for a test ride.

Barring any unforseen issues, I am very relieved to have this install complete!
