Not only did I get Eric to come out and drive finally, but when it was SNOWING! Peer pressure is a bitch.

Here's the infamous idle:


And here's the whole exhaust note:


It wails nicely. Pretty quick too. That is all.

Sorry I was running late. Barely had time for gas.

I'll swing by sometime soon to get all this crappy salt off her.

^^ On that note, anyone want to head to Synapse for some dyno time? I was going to book a few pulls to see the new AFR.

Yep. I'd be down for some pulls. I'd like to baseline my setup before I start fiddling with it.

Travis, as of now, it's hard to say. She certainly doesn't mind revving. The issue seems to be a combination of a stock turbocharger and the fact I have stock boost control and haven't shot my timing correctly yet. No idea if it's actually at 10 BDTC base like it should be. She seems to have a decent midrange. Definitely Torquey above 3500. Gas mileage on a 500 mile roundtrip averaged 26 highway. That's down a couple mpg from what she used to be stock, but that's to be expected. Plus, I haven't tuned her yet.

It's just too damn cold out.

It does indeed run, and even better it's no longer taking up space in assorted garages

Plenty of tweaking to do, bring on the warm weather!
