that kicks *** man. I am also running an LT8, but i bought the car with it installed. The wiring on my car was a cluster f*ck so i decided to tidy it up, and i found that my aux output wire from the microtech wasn't connected to anything. What does this go to? because i haven't been able to figure it out...its a white wire. Anyway, if you know please tell me!! thanks

It doesn't need to be connected to anything.. that's why it's 'auxillary'. If you decide there's something you want to control something with the MT, you can hook it up to that.

man... just seeing that $900 piece of electronics on the floor of the car, right out in the open, makes me want to *yoink*

And I've never even stolen anything in my life. Might want to cover that bad boy up.

Thanks for the compliments!

The halfcage is the Autopower "Race" halfcage.

The RFL is a little too loud for my tastes... My exhaust is insanely loud as well, but you can hear the bov loud and clearly from inside the car at WOT.

My setup is:
- MT Lt8
- T04b hybrid (unsure what trim)
- Streetport
- 3in turboback to dual 3in magnaflows
- 700 secondaries 550 primaries

Mmmm such a pretty blue box. Amazingly just like mine!!!

Microtech LT-8 forever! Have you gotten a chance to tune the system to it's full potential? Once i switched from my SAFC to the LT-8 i noticed a giant increase in power (once tuned) I went from just shy of 168 whp to a healthy 181whp (N/A) of course.

The 181whp run was a very unsafe (lean) dyno run... we tuned it "properly" and obtained a steady 178.x for the few runs after.

needless to say, i'm happy with the results.

Microtech, the other white meat.

Later,
-Markus

I haven't had a chance to tune yet, unfortunately. I definately can't wait to though!

You need some washer fluid!

The stock ECU location works great for the LT-8...
