Alright, I know this is a big Q. but I need help tuning my car. If there is anyone that could help me out with this on a saturday or sunday. I have a datalogger and a 5- Knob SAFC. As most of you know I done a 2G mafs upgrade. Well I need help to get it race ready for Nov.6. I would appreciate any help.
-------------------- Thanks, Bud!

Budmann, Nate lives in Peoria so keep that in mind.
BTW, I saw your car at the MOD show and I had one suggestion for you. Get a silicone coupler for the intake pipe-to-turbo section. With a proper silicone coupler, you won't have to worry about kinking the wastegate actuator line. BTW, that will be a 3inch to 2.25inch coupler reducer. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

Thanks for the tip Turbo. I will have to look into it. I've got a tight girlfriend, and she don't like to let go of the cash.
 Nate I appreciate that you will help me. I will let you know by tomorrow night if it will be possible to do that, you know with the woman and all. I got to squeeze the money out her and my time. 
-------------------- Thanks, Bud!

Nate give me a time that would be good for you. I can be there in morton by noon to drop off the ole lady . She has a friend that lives there and it works out great. Drop her off and I can meet you and do what we have to do. Just let me know and some directions or address. Hmmm, Maybe a phone number.

FYI Nate, I checked those other 2 sites you mentioned for this stuff in another thread and found RRE cheaper - then before I hung up she said I'd get the order at 20% off - they didn't have quantity of what I wanted for my planning overkill. So the discount may have been about that, but hey! -------------------- ... she likes bein' forced ...

Yeah RRE was cheaper on some stuff, the other sites cheaper on others, especially on stuff RRE doesn't stock.
 Budmann, for your benefit, check out www.turbohoses.com and www.hosetechniques.com . |

12:30 to 1 works for me. I'll be in the garage anyway. Gotta fix the coolant return line on the turbo for the Talon and change the oil in the Evo.
