  1. Thanks for responding. What exactly didn't work? Supposedly, it regulates pump duty based on necessity. And would you recommend I just drop the 450 in as is and run that?
  2. I've skimmed through this thread and find it fascinating. Currently running a AVO 245lph fuel pump on E85. 50# turbo at 24psi is leaning me out with 1100cc injectors. My IDC gets up to 111%. My upgrade I have purchased is move to a Walbro 450 along with a Fuelpro pump controller. Check it out HERE Anybody here run one of those? First I'm going to install the pump controller and see if just that makes a difference. Next, I'll drop the pump in. I will report back my findings.
  3. I almost wish I wasn't self-tuned so I could work with you and take advantage of these amazing deals. Following these threads trying to pick up on some scraps of info, it's obvious you are not only knowledgeable, but quick and attentive to your customers. You'd be my first choice for an etune. Keep up the good work.
  4. My V2 does this sometimes. Subscribed.
  5. While I don't disagree, the original post does not mention anything about posting stock turbo numbers. Perhaps there should be a stock turbo dyno tuned thread however even this thread is redundant since there is now a whole section dedicated to performance and dyno numbers. Rather than argue since I think you're an okay guy, I'll just post my road dyno tuned results in case folks haven't been following along in my other thread. 2005 LGT Stock 5MT AVO 450 BB turbo E85 self tuned with Cobb AP For full list of mods, click HERE. I need to upgrade my intake and fuel pump since those are both maxed as they currently sit, but I think this has 450whp in it. Does the bottom end and transmission have the durability, though? That's the question.
  6. I could get those for you. How do you want them?
  7. Are you looking to swap. My travels may one day take me to Denver. Have: 2005 RBP winged trunk Want: RBP wingless trunk Loation: Omaha, Nebraska
  8. Your APv1 will not block romraider from reading data reported in your ECU. Furthermore, if you have an APv1, you can just use that cable to datalog, you just need to purchase a serial to usb adapter and run the proper driver for your OS. Nevertheless, if you've already got the Vag-com cable, make sure that romraider is reading to the correct COM port on your laptop.
  9. I forgot I made that stupid west african scammer post. Yeah, that should have been deleted. What's funny is that late in the thread, just like shadowimg, I made a serious post with a valid inquiry and that got deleted. Nevertheless, new vendors with new products dodging certain questions justifies a precautionary consumer.
  10. You want to know what's depressing? I can't remember if I posted what I have put into my car and I'm too lazy to go check. However, know that I spent several thousand so far and that was mostly 2 years ago. Now for the sad part; 2 years later and the most expensive parts still sit in my garage. It has been one delay after another.
  11. Yeah, you guys are a bunch of gangstas, yo. This is where you should turn your focus.
  12. ^^ Work at a Wal-mart office? So which box do you get to mark yourself off with?
  13. Got my ECU replaced under recall. Removed the AP before the procedure, and afterwards, reflashed with no issues whatsoever. Dealership gave me no grief about having a flashed ECU.
  14. I've got this issue myself. Since the ECU is warrantied for up to 80K, I should be good to go. I'll report back my experiences.
  15. Holy thread revival. Man I don't even want to think about it. The worst part is that about half the monetary value of the parts still sit idle in my garage. :spin:I guess that's better than being on my car before my car's ready for them. Then I'd have a whole car sitting idle in my garage.
  16. This is definitely intriguing. I've always loved that powerplant. BTW, where did you find the parts at those prices?
  17. Technically, you were not even a part of GB #1, you were just an extra. . Still haven't had the time to work on that bumper fitment. I haven't had a day off of work since I installed it nearly 3 weeks ago. I will update with pics when I do with my new camera. BTW, Felpro gasket material is working great on the BOV flange for me.
  18. Correct, the bumper skin. It does go very deep and will still require a considerable amount more of trimming to be perfect. Have others reported this in the early models as I have that I missed? Otherwise, it fits nice and snug behind the bumper beam.
  19. When we take the bumper off again to trim it more as necessary, I will be sure to post up pictures. I'm certain my bumper has some different specs, otherwise this thread would be blowing up with the same issue. If I knew as much trimming were required, I would have taken before and after pictures to possibly aide in other people's installs.
  20. Finally got my intercooler on. I've had it since the 1st GB and I may be the last to have installed it. :lol: Finally got 2 days off in a row so installed it with a buddy 1 day, and he tuned it the next. Fitment was pretty straightforward, but I had to ditch my tall battery. In time, I will make the necessary modification to the pipes with the supplied coupler, but it's good for now. I have an 05 LGT limited and my bumper must be very different than what everyone else has. We cut where the IC couplers obstruct bumper fitment, but as we cut more into them, the middle of the inside of the bumper got closer and started obstructing. Spent a considerable amount of time cutting the bumper, and it's still not quite right, but it was getting late and we were getting looney so we just put the bumper back on. I realize that any IC core would create this same problem unless it's mounted higher, but that's not as efficient. One thing we noticed that may make a difference; this bumper looks like it was repainted or painted after initial manufacturing, possibly an aftermarket knockoff. But who knows? That could account for the necessary trimming. The FMIC is in, it's partially tuned and that will be a work in progress as we install more and more parts that are in waiting. I have a big turbo with meth that will probably be an early fall project so we will challenge the limits of this intercooler. All in all, I do not regret the purchase. Seems like good quality materials were used and though fitment is tight, its pretty slick, nonetheless.
  21. +1 to that! Don't forget to mention that they are so darn easy to break as well. Not the highest quality plastic popit out there.
  22. Keep us posted on how that holds up and the overall performance of your intercooler. I was told by a local coating shop that leaving the intercooler core bare aluminum would be most efficient and highly recommended that I do not powdercoat it, especially. They said it would lose some efficiency with paint as well, but unsure if it would be enough to be noticeable. They did mention that powdercoating the endtanks could be beneficial.
