turbo timer will come later.. I have to figure out how to connect it to the ignition.. in the mean time.. I let the car idle for about a minute before turning it off just so it can cool down

I always keep mine white. I had a 2nd gen and hated the amber red!

The white is too bright for me. Probably a hold over from all the night flying that I do.

Forgive me, but there was a noise (not the turbo sound) that I was hearing...like a high pitch wine...HIGH pitch, like if something was wrong or something? Was it just me? I don't know much about Turbo's or SC but I do remember that Turbo sound...but not the other high pitch sound????

Philodox....what can I say, that thing looks sooo good. Thanks for shareing it and I to can't wait for some dyno numbers, more video, 0-60 times...etc etc

the boost guage looks HORRIBLE and the car sounds HORRIBLE with all that whining and psshting!! and has the camera guy ever heard of a little thing called FOCUS?!

i think the only thing you can do now to save face and not have to be embarrased to drive the thing is to rip the whole works out, box it up and send it to me!:D no you dont need to pay me to take it ill do it for free as a good will gesture to a fellow 8 owner. should i just pm my address to you now?

...That high pitch sound makes me think of some type of high speed, precision saw/laser weapon/"I don't know what just happened to me" - sliced in half sound.... How beautiful.

This will be what WRX's, and 350Z owners will be thinking, if they can hear it as the 8 leaves them.

Sweet music to my ears!!

Great job.

We'll see if it'll be leaving 350z's and WRX's after some dyno's. Personally, I prefer to NOT hear the blow off valve when i take off.. cuz like.. i want them to think they got beat by a stock car. mind games are fun.. maybe i'm a chick.

Not worried about that, just the Emanage.

no problems with the e-manage. it came with a very very well constructed custom wiring harness. it's totally plug and play. the stock tune that comes with the e-manage is very good. No idling issues or lagging through the RPM band. of course, time will tell.. I've only had the turbo on for about 100 miles... we'll see how it goes at 500 miles.

Philo,

Post the mpg's over the next couple fill ups, Im curious how many mpg's will be lost.

Oh yeah, I love the boost guage it really sets off the dash. The PTP cluster would look sweeeeet.

Philo some questions:
1. How does your catback system perform? What's the diameter of your exhaust, will a wider one help?
2. Milage? Can you make an estimation, how bad it is
3. Can't wait for dyno and timeslips. I wanna see how well it does against the 'opponents' now...

Congrats. You lead the way, bro.
