Reused airfilter from 617, if everything works out I will be getting a new filter. As you can see the stock air tube from manifold almost fits. I think I am going to carve the receiver out of the stock intake hose and attach it to the black tube (notice the electricians tape covering the hole I had used on the 617).
Anyone know what the resistance on a K type thermocoupler should be? It was around 10ohms, I am hoping its still good after I accidently ground the starter through the shielding on the thermcoupler wire (lots of smoke).
I really think the hydraulic shop did a good job on the fitting there!
EGT probe. Tonight I am going to fire up the Arduino/Android app I wrote for this and see if everything works.
The intake to charge air coupling is a bit of a kludge right now. Thinking about machining the lip off the turbo and then modifying the crossover tube for better fitting. Pretty sure this wont hold under boost.
So much more room without the MAF. I think with some judicial hammering I may be able to refit the sound wall back in there.
The GAP! Not sure what I am going to do about this. I need a temporary solution to do some test drives and get the car to the muffler shop. Suggestions?
I imagine a new downpipe is going to be required in which case I might as well do a whole new exhaust....
