I got the throttle cable and still had clearance issues so i made a bracket to attach to the OEM throttle cable bracket and it worked with no problems. It was about 9pm when i got everything put together. I cranked her up and started right up...but the idle was all over the place. jumping from 1k to about 3500 rpm. I didn't even try to start to adjust anything or find what the problem was because of the time and the amount of noise. Will post some more pictures of it all done when i get some time. Any ideas on what it could be to help me out so i dont piss off to many neighbors :lol:

New parts installed if this helps narrow it down. Intake manifold, throttle body with new TPS, Throttle cable, FPR relocator, fuel rail, new gaskets for the injectors and IM and TB. Thanks in advance.

They are pretty light and they sit really flush to the body line i love them. If i were to rate them i would give them a 9 out of 10 and they would get a 10 out of 10 but they don't have the option of getting the dark tinted models for the eg.

- Sat May 26, 2012 2:49 am #306265 So an updated...the car is back on the road and with no check engine light, at least not yet. She feels really good at low end a big difference from before but around top end i think it has more potential. The car is tuned with the old manifold and TB setup so i want to get it tuned again and see what she can really do.

BTW my fuel pressure is set at 42-43 right now. Anyone recommend something else that might help in the mean while before i go and get it tuned?

How she running?


I raised the FP to 47,48 and she is running strong even without a updated tune. I had an issue that she didn't want to start but I got it taken care of :thumb:

The main starter relay was bad. Its a hard relay to see and I just just put my hand over it testing it to see if was clicking over. Long story short it it was the relay.
