Once I get this fixed I will post a review of install/SC. |

You cannot put a 13-17 alternator on. They have different amperage. I destroyed my harness put a heat shrink around it all and have hoped for the best. |

I got advice from Mike and CSG and they said I need to lift the SC manifold and slide the clip into place. Its a tight fit but once the connector clicks in the wire should be able to bend and clear the manifold. I'm going to do it tonight, and hopefully get the car running! So excited yet nervous because certain critical steps took me a while to get right (MAF sensor, SC manifold gasket). Just hoping for no codes |

https://datazap.me/u/s0007/2nd-gear-...zoom=1450-2399 D-Box MAP performance https://datazap.me/u/s0007/2nd-gear-...&zoom=685-1147 Also did a comparison at idle between Edelbrock MAP harness vs Remote MAP there was only about ~2 inHg difference in vacuum. I'm feeding my from the back of the SC and using a P3Gauge to monitor boost from the ECU (so no need for analog gauge that requires a Tee) |

considering making just a blockoff plate so the RMAP can be mounted closer to the pressure source as well. Any thoughts or suggestions?

5w-30 is listed as an optional weight in the manual last I recall, felt more comfortable with the thicker weight on track. |

Mid install with the SC - and was looking into what else to replace while I am waiting for a part arrive (New direct injector). Right now I am considering replacing the coil packs and spark plugs.
Car is at 80k miles. MY2013 Only 1 coil failed me at ~50k miles. I replaced all spark plugs at that time. Looking at options here - most consider the stock plugs to be OK for the SC application. Stock coil packs slightly worry me with the history I have had and others. Any good recommendations? Also looking into a oil catch can but may run without it just to see how the car runs first. |

According to CSG's "daily driven/spiritedly driven" maintenance schedule, the plugs and coils should be replaced every 60k. From all the information I've read about, the OEM spark plugs and coils are the way to go. Aftermarket coils don't last as long and the benefit is either not there, or not worth the shorter life for a street car. For the catch can, I don't think you'll notice a difference with or without one from a power perspective, however it's definitely a long term wear and tear mitigation item to keep oil buildup out of your intake and off your valves. I've heard this is more so important for boosted applications. Not a killer if you don't get it immediately, but definitely an item to look into for longevity.

has your tuner said if making the tube shorter would help the tuning/response? |

I haven't asked but I work in industrial controls. I'm sure a shorter distance would be beneficial. I was just trying to produce a one piece design that took care of the plug and remote MAP location at the same time.

For those that autox their setup, any issues on the stock system? I'm selling my autox car I used for PCA and SCCA so the Edlebrock FRS will be my new PCA autox car and the GR86 for SCCA. Just curious if I can use the stock cooling system for a few events.
