Well I finally got er running, got the fmic and intake done. Relocated the maf to right in front of the throttle body so I can run vta. Still need to work out some kinks regaurding the boost controller and tuning the maf. Alsio having some vacum issues...when I installed my synapse bov and the car was idling the valve was stuck open and causing it to run lean. Anyone have any thoughts regaurding the vac issue? When I took the car for a spin I got into boost a little bit and the silicone coupler connected to the turbo blew off(didn't have the clamp tight enough!) so that was exciting! haha
Anyway's heres a few pics of the final install!

Nice.....let me know how that fmic works out...had the same thing happen to me with the turbo hose...

Isn't there an adapter for the Synapse for VTA so that doesn't happen??

I would contact Revolutions Performance and ask them for some suggestions and such. They are pretty good in assisting people and offer suggestions.

That's the BT I want in about 2.5 years, when this POS is paid off. Seems like the best DD BT out there, and should give me exactly what I want in the vehicle at that point. I don't want a dyno-queen or a drag strip rocket. Just something that does 0-60 under five seconds and has enough top-end power to be fun. If I track it, it'll be road courses.

No problem...I was thinking about running VTA when I had my synapse...but not any more...

Let me know if that fmic doesn't work...we can swap fmic's... Mine is bigger:D

I'll let you know...I'm not sure I could go bigger without cutting the crashbar?

Oh come on now...there's waaayyyy better setups out there now! I'd actually go a bit bigger but I have no plans on building the motor unless I grenade it! So it is perfect for a DD.

Ya noticed did ya! Well I'm actually going to put the batt in the trunk to get rid of the clutter. Plus my intake is 3.5'' so it don't fit like the cp-e inlet/intake did! Just not enough damn room! Actually I could make a bracket to replace the tray and make it work but I like the batt in the back.

They won't let you run at the track without a hold-down, if you were planning on running at the track. That won't matter if you move it to the trunk of course.

Yeah but also if I put it in the trunk I will have to run an external on/off switch for the track. Well see what happens, if I go up to bandimere next year I'll have it all worked out. My brother used to run a 10sec 73 camaro in King Street for years so I grew up at the track...still remember most of the saftey shit!

Did you order that Synapse kit yet? Check eBay if you haven't...it may be cheaper...

Nice! Never mind then. It was just something that stuck in my mind from looking at the list of safety stuff when I went last week.
