well, i torn the entire top off again this winter to redoe the silicone hose job in hopes that it would fix my sloppy transition problem, while I was at I also did:
I just got it all back together so i have only test drove it a few times, with boost controllers totoally closed, but the transition was very quick, a solid 7-6-7 pattern, but its too early to make conclusions yet, I still need to tweak the boost up to 10 and see how well i can get the transition. Im still with the stock ecu, so i'll be keeping boost at around 9.5~10 since im running dp, catback, and intake.
I love the fact that it does not rev up to 3K at a cold start anymore, and it seems to idle just fine with the aws and double throttle removed (i was worried about the stories of sporatice idle after these mods), in fact it purrs like a kitten, maybe better than before because of the new HGS grounds. There is only once thing I have to 'debug' and that is after idling a while the ACV will switch and relief air out to atmosphere, when it does this (infamous moo sound) the idle goes to hell (hunts around realy heavily), however if I put my hand in front of the air tube and block the air coming out, it goes back to normal, or if it ACV switches back (not relieving the air out) it goes back to normal, so I still have to figure that one out.
No real power mods so no HP gains, the intake might add some but im dialing down the boost so its a wash. I am going to focus on adjusting my camber and seeing how it handles before i try to push up power. I am not a good enough driver to take on more power ...yet (heheheh...MUAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!).
When i am ready for a power push, the power FC and ASP medium intercooler (and then moving to 12lbs boost)...is not far behind.
I can't wait till the racin season starts :-)

Originally posted by af908 wow thats alot of work looks great i love the ram air idea... was that a lot of work?
the ram air duct was not that much work, just dremmeled open the stock cap part, then got some dryer venting tube from homedepot and some metal ducting tape, then just molded it into shape, i did have to dremmel awaya small part of the underbelly panels to get the tube to fit across the frame
Wow thats really nice. I hope to do some of that stuff like that sometimes soon. How much did that polish job run you. I was thinking of doing it myself but don't think it would turn out as good as I want it to. Keep it up.

keep us posted or PM me on the Hyper Ground system results. I have the dreaded 3K hesitation, and I'm thinking of trying to upgrade all the ground wires.

just wanted to add to my list....here is a cover I fabricated for the hole that shows up in the stock intercooler duct when you remove the stock airbox and front plastic thing that connects them. I used some sheetmetal and a rivits
