  1. right now basically just a catless turbo back (invidia up/dp, mr catback) MBC, and boost gauge.... once my wallet gets a little thicker i can continue to feed my urge.. :lol:

     

    i think its mostly due to my tune...but you can smell it when i have my vents on, or when your standing outside of my car and im idling.. definatly running a bit rich, but i guess thats better than to lean right :lol:

     

    a friend of mine who has been tuning his own car and others for a while initially tuned it in april... but i havn't had him look at it since.. and i feel i have "worked out" my tune, if that makes any sense... my car feels slower than before i know that.. i have been trying to learn all i can to start doing it myself (i dont own a laptop and that is holding me back).. he can be hard to reach... or i might bring my car into dsg, or esp... my friend brought his evo to dsg yesterday and i was impressed..

     

     

    you're minutes away from Mike of Tuning Alliance pretty much, just have him road tune your setup open source and it won't cost that much, plus you know it'll be good and better than what you're running now, thats my suggestion.

  2. 2 spots today. i was playing around with an ABP LGT on industrial ave in williston heading towards 2A...i was in my buddies red A6, anyone on here?

     

    second spot was earlier in the morning, saw a SWP sedan on far end of north ave, some mesh grill on it, pushing a saturn with flames into a driveway :lol:

  3. Its rebuilt, has no airbags, has been in a few off road incidents, etc.

    uh, but it has brembo's! :rolleyes:

     

    Doh! I'd certainly be interested to hear what they say about the cause of failure. Think it may have been related to your lower than expected output with it?

     

    um, don't know. there were a couple things holding that back though. URD sent the wrong size meth nozzle 3 times, and bullseye sent the incorrect flange size for the turbo, so it only has a 2.5" butthole instead of 2.75" which poses an immediate restriction. I've got the new flange and nozzle now and will hopefully be rebuilding the downpipe on monday night, but I gotta figure out some other issues.

     

    anyway, back to the spotting, has anybody seen/know the cute blonde in the GRP sedan?

  4. little issue being about an hour before i went to go to the track last thursday i blew the new turbo. i snapped the shaft connecting the wheels in half. bullseye has never seen that happen before so they'll send it back to borg warner for more failure analysis. got it back yesterday, installed for a while last night, having other issues now.
  5. I think she is associated with Steve, shes always around Vergennes, unless I am thinking of another LGT. BTW if anyone ever sees steve's '06 spec B up for sale, dont pick it up

     

    apparently charlie's talking about a different someone.

     

    if anybody ever sees a 400whp silver lgt up for sale don't pick it either :rolleyes::p

  6. Saw you this morning Groff on my way in around 8:30 right before you turned after the OC bridge in Vergennes, I was driving our White GMC Truck since I have some large exterior pieces for the GT to pick up in Burlington tonight

     

    nice

     

    Isnt this the spotted thread? WTF :confused:

     

    dismount the high horse chief :lol:

  7. has a little more to do with the other mods than the exhaust combos.

     

    UP is ultimate racing rotated mount

    bullseye S362 turbo

    custom catless dp

    megan racing "cat-back"

    UTEC launch control is what's causing the flash as I'm dumping fuel to spool the turbo and cutting ignition so the combustion is happening on its way out of the chamber pretty much, hence the fire.

     

    get your cars to have balls and you can have fire too :lol:

    I have the turbo here for it! - http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95118

    ^shameless plug, mb!

  8. ^^ thats steve the owner of auto creek

     

    Damn, what turbo is that? Looks like something for a turbo diesel truck.

     

    Nice numbers for that Dyno...waiting for #'s from the track.

     

    its a bullseye S362. i'm happy with the turbo, not with the numbers though. when we were talking with bullseye, we told them we wanted a turbo that would do 450 on a mustang, fell a lil short i'd say. might have had something to do with the wrong size meth nozzle that URD sent me (twice actually, I'm still waiting for the correct one), or the incorrect turbine flange that bullseye sent (2.5" outlet is a nice restriction right off turbo!).

     

    anyway, possibly going to the track on thursday, once i hook up the UTEC launch control. can't run the open source LC anymore, builds boost too fast and kicks over the to the UTECs speed density and doesn't hold rpms anymore.

     

    at any rate, the thing sounds like a turbo diesel truck's turbo cuz it whistles all the time, its sweetness. :D

  9. consider it got :lol:

    buttholes

    installed for now

     

    I'll edit when I pull the dyno graph of the flash drive. only 390/360 on ESP's mustang. so better than I did w/ the 3082, but the powerband is completely different. going to the track next weekend hopefully which will prove that "low" dyno numbers don't mean anything :lol:

     

    may go bigger, though I'm not sure we'll physically be able to make it fit, this is a lil tight as it is.

  10. Sorry for the late response. I was thinking more that the STi axles may be easier to find and bigger than the Spec-B ones. Oh well.

     

    Hey Groff, when you installed the R180, what else did you have to change to get it to bolt up (ie the rear diff support correct?)?

     

    nope, only thing i had to change were the axles and the driveshaft flange on the R180. I swapped it over to the R160 one so the driveshaft holes would line right up.
