I wasn't aware of this at the time (bought the samco before the aps inlet). I should just sell the samco huh....

samco maf hose... is that what connects the intake to the turbo inlet?

i may get it from you... what color?

Yes sir

iirc red, but I will confirm when I get home tonight.

Update to install(s):

Since I have no other vehicle I could drive to work today, i could not start working on the car last night. The only thing I got done was prepping the ATI gauge pod and installing the pod. I got a couple wires ran for the defis, and thats about it. I will start ripping apart the mani an getting cracking on everything right when I get home from work today.

Well, here are pictures anyway!

GM bcs:

APS turbo inlet:

COBB turbo heat shield:

DeatschWerks 750cc fuel injectors:

JDM TGV Deletes:

Defi:

30k service:

Looking at the pictures of the JDM TGV Deletes.... shouldn't the entire "TGV" assembly be deleted from these risers??

***snorky*** · 07-02-2008, 08:02 AM

they may have changed something for the top feel injectors but all the JDM manifold risers I've seen don't have a divider in them.

That's what I was under the impression of... maybe it is different on the 07s because of the top-feed... anyone know for sure??

Well got some major work done on the car this past week! Drilled the intake manifold and fitted the JDM tgv deletes on nicely. Got the aps turbo inlet mounted in place and hooked up for the most part. Installation was kind of tricky, but I felt it wasn't as bad as most people make it out to be. The DW 750cc injectors are in, which was a snap to install with the mani and the manifold risers off already for the inlet pipe install. Put the Oil pressure sensor and boost sensor in for the defis. Drained my radiator fluid but wasn't able to flush and refill yet since my car is not put back together fully and I can't start it.

Did a partial 30k service with IlliniSti and Snorky... got my rear dif fluid changed. Will be finishing that up with changing power steering fluid, clutch fluid (since somehow my cap came off and my reservoir was virtually empty), brake fluid, engine oil, and the tranny fluid.

Things left to do:
-Tap the EGT sensor into the exhaust mani
-Wire up the power to the defi controller and finish up the gauge wiring
-Finish up plugging in all the hoses and connectors I had to take off when removing the mani
-Rest of the 30k service
-Fumoto drain valve
-Install Cobb heat shield, re-install tmic (after I pic out all the rocks and bugs lodged in the fins... this will be done while watching the cubbies tuesday)
-Get tuned by Jorge

Here are the pics:

Rockin my dad's QX4 to work all week until I'm done and tuned up

I'm pretty sure its part of the 30k service. Regardless, I'm glad I did, it was looking pretty nasty!!

fullerton · 07-07-2008, 07:36 AM

Looks like some fun stuff there!

***snorky*** · 07-07-2008, 10:14 AM

glad you got everything figured out.

I'm excited to see what kind of numbers you generate.

Thanks for the pointers you gave me. Hopefully I connected all the hoses to their correct spots

I'm trying to dig up a pic of the 07 engine bay so I can confirm this, but I'm pretty confident Its A OK.

I'm pretty excited too, I hope it all goes well! Jorge had to de-tune me last time since I was having issues with the MAF voltage fluctuating, so iirc I was only putting up 280 whp on the P&L dyno. Now that he can properly tune my car since I took care of that issue, and with the additional power mods I just installed, I am expecting to see a nice increase

I'll upload the dyno sheet when its all said and done..
