haha. the Mods list includes waht i have arriving today.My wallet is allways empty. haha i deposit my pay check and then spend it with my debit card.

the q45 brake upgrade i will get is brand new from JGY wiht new calipers and sh*t. i can get it for the 4 lug since that is what i have.and as far as sprung weight, i figure better stoping power is worth a little loss. plus it is just on the front brakes. the back tires is where the power is at.

Where do you get the enthalpy tunes? I have only seen an add on ebay....??? (No im not on ebay that much lol) But can they really tune to my setup running stock maf and stock injectors but i have a hotshot header and xcessive intake manifold, No emissions and stock throttle body... I dont know how they would tune the ecu to take advantage of the manifold or if they have ever done anything like that before...? I just want to know its tuned good for the setup it has. Nice buildup btw man.. If i were you just get almost everything you can find to buy that you will be removing because in the long run its way worth it to do it now while its all apart...Nice way to learn though!

you get them from their website. http://rs-enthalpy.com/ the only thing i see that you would need to adjust for is your new intake. which i dont think will necissarily be worth a full rom tune.

ok i am pissed off. i got everything with my turbo together great. and smoothly. but i go to put the new exhuast manifold studs in and the freaking studs wont go in straight and all the way. three went in straight and easily, but the other ones arnt. andi cant get them in. all the way. i dont want to brake them one is all ready stuck and i brok of the ex drive part. the stud is perfectly fine still but yea. it is like the holes were threaded wrong. or when we took the old studs out we messed the holes up some how. but i dont know.

^ work haha i dotn worki sit infront of a computer and surf NICO

so the two major things i need to get figure out is who i will have do my tune. and when i will have my tune done.

does it matter if i have my boost controler yet. seems like it shouldnt.and if it doesnt i will have a tun done. and order my injectors.get my intercooler kit. and fire the biatch up.

so i was o nthe deatsch werks web site messing around with their calculator for injectors. and i have been planing on 740 cc injectors. and with my power goals thos are exactly what i need.they will be running at 80% which is perfect. set the fpr at 43.5should be puttign down some great numbers. i have to find a dyno in my area when i am done. whihc could be a pain.

i havent decided between JWT or enthalpy. it kinda depends if i can pick up a used ecu that has allready been tuned by either of those places. that i could send in for a reflash.
