Just wanted to update my thread since I have had a few people ask me how the car has been lately.
The car has been good, besides the usual wrenching and maintenance that goes on with a FI car.
Turbo seals seem to be no bueno, but I have a new ball bearing version of the 5965B ready to go in as soon as I get some new gaskets for the install.
It has been nice to just drive the car and enjoy the extra power of the Inline kit. Its been a fun ride compared to my unsatisfying Comptech supercharger and Greddy turbo days..
The only annoying thing at the moment is the way my boost is set. As an example this morning when I went to work the temperature was 39 degrees and I hit boost cut at 16.5 psi hitting up a Dodge Challenger Daytona that thought he was a bad @ss.. Later today when I go home from work the temps will be in the 70's and the car will only boost around 12-13 psi..
I'm already starting to think about the future and what I want to do with the car. A built block and more boost might be in its future. I've already talked to Autowave and Laskey a little about that possibility.
It never ends does it....

Get that turbo on already, I want to hear if you can tell a difference between the BB and the journal bearing in the reponce.
The power is nice for now but you know you are going to be turning the dial to 12 soon. I know you always to tell me to relax and wait but under you cool calm exterior, there is a power hunger side just wanting to pull the trigger on a block or new mani.
Damn, hitting boost cut like that is a real kick in the teeth. Did Autowave say that they can enable the PI and Feedback tables? Mase will be back in the States in not too long and I will try and see if he has any suggestions on using the feedback controls.
If you can get a passenger and I can get a few moments I can send you something that might just work.

Yes the boost cut and the boost ranging according to ambient temp sucks. I want something that I can just input 16 pounds and it gives me that no matter what! (I know I have ranted to you about this already Scott) I will call Autowave next week and talk to them more on the subject.
A new manifold or built bottom end... Probably a bottom end I would imagine, but I don't even want to think about that right now. I've been looking at engagement rings lately.. It's almost time I put one on my girls finger. I also need to get another vehicle and am looking to pay cash for everything (payments suck!), so I figure between the two it will be 15K plus gone with the wind..

Tell her what I told my wife, I will get you a real gold ring with a CZ and if you are still with me in 10years we can upgrade you to a synthetic diamond. If you make it 30 years I will get you a real diamond.

You can't hide the facts, old man 
If it isn't my daily shed of hair reminding me, its my slower metabolism and larger gut.
