^Thanks... I'm sure you will see it in person fairly soon. SA is a pretty small place for such a big city.
Keep the compliments/comments/criticisms coming guys...
The wife is at her sisters tonight having a "girls night" so I got to spend some time with my other girl :) Also the reason for the late night post, she would hate for me to stay up working on the car. But since she's not here...
I got my IAT sensor installed, wired, and tested. Also trimmed the ECU brackets to allow me to permanently have my serial cable installed. This will keep me from having to drop the damn MS everytime I want to log or tune. More pics tomorrow... I'm tired."A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

No real updates other than I got the IAT wired, installed, and reading correctly. I tried a full day of tuning with the idle control valve on there... lol it severely owned me! I was so pissed. Could not get a good idle to save my life, let alone a good tune. So gave up on it and removed it again and just made new maps adjusted for the correct IAT's. Sounds fun huh?
I must say MS is not as easy to dial in as I had hoped. I had done a bunch of reading, but you can read all day long... until you jump in you still now almost nothing. Soooooo... I'm learning as I go and just keeping the AFR's in check so nothing goes "bang". Will keep updating."A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

Update: Haven't upped to 10psi just yet. I am working on getting the ICV to control idle nicely. Making slow progress, hence the lack of updates. As of now I can get i to idle @ ~1050 +/- 100 with the AC on or off... but i can not just turn the AC on from a dead idle. I have to give it a bit of throttle and then let it settle back down. After that it is driveable with the AC on.
Here are some pics of the IAT sensor installed/mounted. And also some pics of my MS with her skirt up.
Pay no attention to the MS paint yellow lines. I put those there when I was trying to trace down a problem with my tach not getting a signal. Fixed that problem... no back on to the idle. Been working on this for 2 days now :("A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

Got a semi warm start for you guys to check out. Shows how everything is routed and running as well. I need to get some sort of in car mount for driving vids. Let me know what you think. I have since tuned the PWM idle control a bit so I have a much better start and idle, but I thought you guys would want to check out the vid just the same.

Did some aesthetic mods... I think it looks alot better. Repainted the intake mani and polished the fins, then did the spark plug cover. When the turbo and other parts come off for coating, I am going to do the cam cover in black crinkle coat. Should looks quite nice I think.
