Model numbers.

You want my gauges?

Chris05STi · 09-22-2006, 09:58 PM

Sure....which ones you have...I need the EGT....and then the Oil Pressure, already have the Boost and Link Controller coming in tomorrow. They IMPERIALS?! AHHA, want a Metric Boost gauge

Thanks Al, I can't wait to get the rest! BTW, I want a ride in your car.....I am thinking for next summer, your turbo setup with the DR 725 APS FMIC will hold me until I can get my built block and the APS TSR70 kit

UPDATES!

Well I was driving around last week and heard an unusal noise...pulled into the garage and def heard it....layed on the ground to check and wouldn't you know, the weld on the exhaust hanger on the midpipe CRACKED!!!!!!!!!!!! This was creating an exhaust leak.....yah. NEXT THING! Was on the parkway heading up North Jersey to see my g/f Friday, floored it into 5th, SLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP goes the stock clutch, I was like you got to be JOKING, shift into 6th, floor it, SLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP......yup, Meth + CF DS + Insanse Power + 2 Track Events + a hand full of 1/4 events + 10,000 miles on that = Dying Stock Clutch

Currently at 20,2xx miles).......soooooo I will be buying the ACT Performance Street Clutch, get the stock flywheel resurfaced professionally by a machinest, and maybe run for E-Town on the 14th....hmm.

So heres the game plan.....bring my car to my friend's house who has a life (

FTW!), take the midpipe off, bring that to my welder, have him go nuts on it, bring it back and install it with new exhaust gaskets (Thanks Precision Tuning...I should just buy 50 of these gaskets since I bought sooo many before), and my friend should have already or will (this week), tap into the exhaust manifold for the Defi EGT Sensor. Defi Imperial Boost and EGT are mounted into the Loteck 3-gauge a-pillar....Link is all hooked up and everything is working! Thanks guys

. So thats the situation right now...see what happens!
