Philo, just wanted to see where you were planning to mount the eManage? I want to mount it in the cabin but am unsure where there is room (maybe behind glovebox? Anyway, my install is just a bit farther along (i have been working in my home garage for the past 3 days though), I have everything plumbed, have to start putting panels back on next and mount emanage. Goodluck with everything, brother in arms!

p.s. be careful with the o2 sensor, i stripped the threads on mine and that sets you back 300bux from the local dealer OWW!!!

Okay guys, I'm officialy BLOWN. Just walked in the door it's 833pm EST. Unfortunately, I don't have the blow off valve on yet, no time.. doing that in the morning.. I can't stay any longer and post pics tonight. I have to go out of town, family emergency. I'll be back to wrap up the last part of the install at about 830-900am EST tomorrow morning.

Real quick though.. first impression.. DAMN!.. 2nd impression, well it's raining like there's a hurricane, so I couldn't go ***** to the wall.. will have to wait until tomorrow.

-Jon

philodox,

What a GREAT post, I just finished reading all of it. I can't wait for you to give us time slips, vids, etc

Has he said how much HP/Torque the Greddy Turbo is going to give him? The price was not too bad and hopefully it's driveablity is not messed up.

Philodox...I hope everything is OK with your family...take care...

Oh boy, I haven't visited this thread for a couple of days and I missed the whole thing!!
Great job!!

One question (maybe stupid) : What are the specs for the engine now, I mean, how long is it supposed to live (what GReddy says)? Now with FI life span is reduced, right?

...well, a quick answer to myself, who cares:p?
