Small Update:
Since I'm going back to the OEM airbox I decided to at least pick up a K&N drop-in filter from Mach V.

If anyone is interested, I'm selling my AEM system:

Tracking Orders:
EcuTek License and Cable (via Moto-East) arrive Tuesday
Carbotech XP-10s, SS lines, and Motul RBF600 arrive Wednesday
Tom's Tail Lights arrive Thursday
Front-Pipe to Mid-Pipe Donut Gasket arrives Thursday
Wilwood front BP-20 and BP-30 pads arrive Friday

Plan of attack:
I plan to see if I can get a base map flash from Mike at Moto-East and try out EcuTek to make sure I have no issues prior to installing the supercharger. I plan to begin removing parts Friday night after work and finishing up the install on Saturday morning. I'll post an update with pics, videos, and install/driving impressions once I get all wrapped up.

It's going to be a busy man, got deliveries ever day!

Here's a comparison of the K&N filter versus my "used" OEM panel.

Letting a little more air through:

Update

I received my EcuTek cable and license via Moto-East:

I also stopped by Sears when I was at the mall and picked up a metal file (for the alternator pulley during supercharger install - directions say the bracket might need to be shaved down .5mm) and I also picked up another pair of jack stands (I only had 2).

EcuTek Debacle:
Well I downloaded the software and followed the directions. I attempted to flash a map onto my ECU but 9 seconds in it crapped out on me. So my car wouldn't start at all. I called Mike from Moto-East and we walked through it again but same result. He thought it might be my laptop (Windows 8 broke my car bro).

Anyways, I wasn't too surprised because the laptop I bought rigged with Windows 8 is the biggest POS I've ever had. Fortunately @Sekal was able to hook me up with a laptop and I finally got it flashed and the car started. My car works and 4hrs later I'm ready for bed.

You are on the wrong side of the road!

And no problem! Cant wait to see kit fully functional!

Update

EcuTek tune is working great, seems to have a little more torque in low/mid range when compared to the Unichip.

I received:
- Carbotech XP-10 Rear Pads
- Spiegler Rear Stainless Steel Lines
- Motul RBF 600 Race Brake Fluid

I'm awaiting my Wilwood BP-20 & BP-30 front pads (which arrive on Friday). I plan to install early next week.

I'm a bit confused, is your current tune applied prior or after the innovate supercharger? I thought you had wanted the canned tune to make your car work until you can get a custom tune after the supercharger. did I miss your install?

No, so I flashed a tune to make sure I didn't have any hiccups with EcuTek (I did via my laptop). So I'm running around on a tune for my car (don't think it's 100% optimized but pretty close).

I've got the innovate tune ready now, so I just need to install the supercharger (Friday evening) and I'll flash the new tune.

Maximania · 07-10-2013, 07:21 PM

ohhh, ok that makes sense. I was wondering why you got yourself a tune before going FI

swift996 · 07-11-2013, 08:08 PM

Update

I received my Tom's Tail Lights. They are plug and play and probably one of the easiest installs I've done. Taking my time it was a 15 minute job. I didn't even look at any instructions. Word of advice on install. You have to replace the flasher relay under the steering wheel. Just remove the relay with the white plastic mount and it will give you about 8 more inches of wiring where you can easily slip it off and not have to work in such tight conditions.

I love these things, they look so clean. I ran up to the grocery store and I'm turning heads like in the exorcist!

Comparison:

One side done:

I love the LED strip when the lights are on:

I'm really starting to think that those TOM'S should come standard from the factory! ^_^ Your car is looking super refined and classy now - can't wait for the SC

swift996 · 07-11-2013, 09:25 PM

I did an inventory check - this kit is very detailed (props to innovate):

I also removed what I could (strut tower and a few covers - still need to drive to work tomorrow). I think I'll actually get this thing wrapped up tomorrow evening after work. It looks pretty straight forward.

damn those toms tailight look awesome!
I think I'll sell my crystal eye to buy toms instead
