We did takebit to the dyno once but had some problems. We had to take the car off and havent been back there yet. We did 498 @ 10psi which is not bad considering i drive the car at 18-20 every day.

So ur pan doesn't it sit too close to the ground? Mine is like 2-3inches from ground depending on my coilovers hight.

Where did u locate ur factory ECU? Did u put it in a vented enclosure? Or a totally water/air tight one?

I'm thinking bout putting mine in between the hood and the crash bar in a sealed box.

^^You'd be doing everyone here a favor to stop hotlinking photos and upload them properly. I just saw a half dozen other posts by you with "photo not found" being the central theme. A forum full of dead links is just a wasteland meaningless posts ... with the new uploader software it's super easy now.
