Not sure what ECU Phil is running, but my setup is similar with two bungs. One is for the wideband and the other is for the stock 02 sensor which the Microtech unit uses. Don't ask me why it's like this but that is how Kilo said it needed to be. I agree with Mefarri that the wideband needs to be at least 18 inches downstream as per PLX instructions - although mine is about where Phil's is and it has been fine. Not recommended though.

Unfortunately, this project is eating up all my spare cash and space... My lift is on hold until this project is done... which might be sept/oct this year.

Absolutely LOVE your manifold, Love the placement of the turbo etc. And that is one hell of a picture. You know.. i'd love to see a special build thread dedicated calender next year. A pic like that would have my eyes glued to my calender for sure haha. looking forward to updates!

January 27th, 2012 - Not much update... I got my new tires the other day and just dropped them off this morning to get them mounted. There is only one place in Bham, AL that I would let people touch new wheels... and only because they have the right machine to do so... Corgi Artiglio Master and Hunter load balancer. This shop also uses special weight for your wheels.. expensive, but worth it!

More update... well, not really...
February 12th, 2012 - Not much update as I been spending my spare time trying to get my old house in order and put it back on the market. Some idiot kicked down my door to the garage and I had to get that fixed and been painting the interior to update the house a bit... This housing market is killing me and I need to sell this so I can dump it in to this project.
Anyhow, Only car thing I did since last update...
Put these Mazda posters I had (for about 7 years) in my garage..
And got my spoilerless hatch painted MB and mounted (pics later).

quick update... I went wingless with the MB FD.. simpler and I'm wanting to start driving this thing everywhere. Taking the Bride seats out and putting the stock base seats back in... more to come about the MB FD in next couple of months.

^ ahh yea.. It'd be a pain in the **** sourcing ad gt fenders. I don't like how you need to run the side skirts in order to run the fenders as well.. because it would look horrible without them. Also.. don't you have the R-magic lights? if so...did you source them through someone here on the forum as well?
