I got most of the exhaust mocked up today. I decided to throw a quick tune in it but after I hooked up the LM-1 I borrowed from J and M I found out their O2 sensor heater shit the bed and that left me tuneless once again. That is pure bullshit. Mine new one should be here Monday and worst case senario they have a new sensor for it at the shop.

jeez dave it seems like getting it in there was the easy part.

Yeah. I put a stainless magnaflow muffler on it today with 3/4 length exhuast. Its super quiet now and sounds great when I get into it. Only issue now is that it overboosts like a bastard. I was up in the 13 psi range. I need to look into it tomorrow. I think I should have just used an external wastegate.

My mid afternoon project. 2.5 exhaust, stainless flex, magnflow straight through muffler, and some VHT Flame Coat paint.




Mig welded with whatever I had left over from the turbo piping.

Magna flow eh, how does it sound? I am trying to decide what to put on my jeep for a new muffler cause i dont want to go back to the flowmaster and all the shops say the turbo style mufflers sound so much better on the inline 6, ie dynomax, magnaflow etc.

[CSaddict]

The magnaflow sounds awesome but with the turbo its super quiet.

My VAFC will not work properly with my MAP sensor so I need to pull all of that shit out and the injectors and go back to stock injectors and an FMU/pump set up.

This is gay. Everything else was working mint......

ahhh that sucks dood....the exhaust looks great tho!!!

[CSaddict]

Fuel pump, relay and all the wiring are in. I just need to get the FMU installed and it ready to hit the road again.

[Mr. Jeeperz]

VHT Flame Coat paint... this will make the exhaust last longer? where and how much is it?

[CSaddict]

Vatozone $8.

Little update. The AFC and the injectors have been removed. I reinstalled the stocker injectors and I installed an FMU. Which is a rising rate fuel pressure regulator. I also put in a T rex inline pump that was used and proved no good. I ordered and installed a new Walbro GSL392 inline that is working well. I am bleeding off boost to the FMU and its still really rich so its good to know it has enough fuel.

The next thing was I had to get rid of the internal wastegate setup. The small internal port would not bleed off enough to regulate boost properly. I removed the swing valve completely and installed a block off plate and a new V band. The only thing left was installing the external wastegate.

Since I built the kit with the internal wastegate there is no room for the external anywhere. I finally found a place for it on the up pipe under the intake manifold. I got it all welded up but now the bolts are alomst impossible to get to. I had to remove my track bar to get the pipe back in. I may have to remove the P/S pump and bracket to tighten the wastegate all the way.

Other than that its done and it should all work........finally.
