Skinnayyy's build thread. updated 3/4/11!
It should start and run good enough to drive it......most piggy backs only tuned open loop anyway so they dont affect the vac. tune anyway. At least as far as I know. I dont know anything about the FIC tho.

also, out of the wastegate, before the nipple that goes to the vacuum block, (the one on the side of the tial 38mm) theres a leak or what seems to be a leak there. is that supposed to be there because i can't tighten my bolt in there any further and the nipple is in there pretty solid with the washer and air is still getting through.
Is the stop tech brake kit larger in diameter for the calipers? or is it stock sized rotors and just better brake pads. Only reason i ask is i have 15" steelys and my stock set up so like quater inch or less from touching.
Utilizes the OEM Rotors as well.
Not to mention Steel Braided Brake Lines to boot.

Yeah its all stock sizes. The only reason I went with it is because I was going to need to rotors and pads when I went to change em. I don't even have dust gaurds on my front tires anymore and there's not a single bit of dust from the brakes either. (The brakes I had before paint my rims gunmetal from all the dust lol)
Ok awesome, Im also in need of brakes and rotors front and back so ill prob be doing this same set up, prob with slotted rotors though(gotta think winter drive-ability and it doesn't get to hot over here/ i don't push the car so much braking wise)

Yup that was me! That's my normal route to school. Once it gets nice out I'll take some more pics of it. And once I finish modding for the year. I entered it into a memorial day car show just for laughs becaus e its going to be all old classic cars and mine.
But I can't wait to ride and cruise this summer. I put around 5k on my bike every summer lol
