Hey Konig grats and good luck with the install.
Just 2 things, to extend the maf so it can reach you just have to remove the cables that go to the maf that are in that plastic tube with the rest of the car cables. Just remove the black tape take it out and it will reach so no need to cut or anything.
Also the AP is ok for monitoring AFR's but if you can get a gauge its so much easier to watch while you drive plus it changes faster than the number on the AP screen so I like it more.
If you need any help just pm me. I get my emails on the blackberry and I can reply from there.

yeah im gonna see how well the AP does for AFRs and then figure out if i need the gauge. the updated AP displays the AFR much quicker then when it first came out at least.

Nice work Konig; things seem to be moving swiftly!
Guys, what rating are the stock injectors and what kinda power are they good to? Greddy mentions not of the injectors TMK.... those jerks
crap, here come the "search" posts LOL

The rest of the turbo came in today and greg was able to install manifold, turbo, and engine mount today!
Pics of turbo (btw, ordered new couplers and clamps but they havent arrived yet)
Took pipe to a welder to get the fitting welded on for greddy fix#2, came out good!

im pretty sure that code is the one everyone with the AP is seeing lately... i'll bet the AP shows the code, but your CEL is not lit up right? theres some talk about it in one of the AP threads a couple pages back

ok i looked... P0039 is a generic Turbo/SC code or SSV malfunction code. Thing is, that code doesnt exist in our cars... apparently a few other people are seeing it too including MM. Doesnt appear to be specific to FI or NA. And this code is ONLY seen with the AP. None of the other scanners pick it up. MM sent a note to Cobb, and we havent heard anything yet.

Thanks for HP ratings, very useful!
have you changed the map yet? I have read the SSV opens when the sec injectors open at 3250, did you rev it at all? My neighbors would be pissed if I did at 3am
Is it something that can be cleaned with seafoam?
Update:Looks like I was a min late post gregs! Glad to hear no code/idle matter of fact.... HELLS YA!
