Two go in and one comes out (Operation body swap)

awesome man!!! glad you're happy with the setup! i bet the ewg dump sounds crazy nasty at WOT haha, i'd love to hear it!

So far anyways.. As it is right now with just the downpipe, the turbo is way louder then the wastegate and BOV combined.

For those who were wondering, the zx2 2.5" TruBendz mandrel kit requires no modifications to the over the rear subframe section. For second gen Escorts its a direct fit. I just finished hanging it and will post some pics later.

I'll take some better pics tomorrow

mmmm tasty

Soooo I need to redo my vac lines for the wastegate / boost controller and quit using the nipple on the compressor housing. They don't seem to be working together properly with the wastegate sourcing it's signal from the compressor housing and the boost controller getting it's signal from the intake pipe. No big deal though, I'll probably tee off the boost controller and source the wastegate signal from the tee. Wideband is hooked up and reading between 14.7-15.2 at idle. I've yet to check it while cruising and wot.

a crude drawing.

Please note it

^ no different than I was already pointing out.. The controller doesn't like the solenoid and wastegate having their own signal sources.

Started working on fabbing and routing the dump pipe to the ground.



Just an overall shot of the bay.

So how are we looking for later this week?

[jinx]

I talked to mike briefly about when he was off and working vs your schedule. Sounds like monday was the best for him? All depends on what I gotta do beforehand. So find out whats best for you two and I'll go from there.

[Ace]

Yeah I just talked to him and he was saying monday would be good. he only has to go in really early to do a couple things so sometime later in the day would probably be good.

[FE3-323]

what trouble are you 2 about to get in?

[Ace]

Heh, nothing.

[jinx]

Nothing at all...
