Waiting on my EMS back from AEM, but hopefully should see it back this next week and see some numbers. Though on Cody's total "heartbreaker" dyno.

I was never a fan of rear valence being open until seeing this work of art.
Everytime I put my car on a lift, I get compliments on how clean the welds are and how awesome the headers and exhaust look.
Waiting on this to be finished is like being on an extended christmas eve status. lol.

Yeah, the open valance looks great, and those soundclips sound awesome as well.

Tips

Seems to be a popular opinion today



I know Cody had to modify some parts of the charge pipe off the turbo for the diffuser to fit. I'm not sure how much/if anything they had to modify with the diffuser or standard WOFI setup.

Keep the tips Blodi, I went without at first on my WOFI and then asked Cody to add tips. It looked like something was missing.

 

[docjohn]

could those tips be more flush....imo they protrude a tiny bit too much.

Not much can be done as they are designed for the stock 02 valance's as well. To shorten them would mean nasty cheat-cuts on the bends before the tips.

I think we've got a plan that should complete the look quite nicely.

More diffuser porn while waiting......

Car should be buttoned up next week.

We finally got Blodi's EMS back from a successful inspection, and got straight to wrapping up the car.


Here is the graph with the 13psi baseline tune that I established after diagnosing the fuel delivery problem, just before Xmas. It made ~454whp. We installed our WOFI exhaust, and immediately noticed 40whp gains!

Injector duty was still pulling just above 80%, so I didn't want to increase the boost too much. I bumped it up another psi and dialed in the AFR's a little better...

Very happy with the results Cody.
It takes a lot to break 500 on Cody's dyno...it's a total heart breaker. Can't wait to get to drive it and hear it in person.....as I look out at the foot and a half of snow on the ground here

 

[Cody@LoveFab]

We have a solid 40" up here. I have a lot of digging to get the trailer out to bring her home....

Awesome video, great gains. Sounds crazy good...I like your video intro as well, pretty cool.

 

[cherylmejia]

damn, very impressive !!

 

[Cody@LoveFab]

Detail time!

 

[blodi]

Detail time!

I'm going to be afraid to drive it if too good a job is done on the detail
The tips look great and I think that was the perfect solution.

BTW, sounds like we'll have another first LoveFab part going onto the front of the car. Details to follow, but I'm pumped!

 

[Cody@LoveFab]

Truth!

Pretty sure this is the cleanest the car has been in the 8 years that I've owned it. Thanks to Travis at Goin Clean.
