Hay everybody Im new to this forum but Iv bean working on my project for a few months now and have been posting my videos on YouTube. I though Ill share them with you guys so if you want to see my progress here is the links. I still have to make my latest videos but so far I have installed the AEM FIC and have the car on the road, thus beginning the break in process.

Welcome dude, glad you joined the forum. As we both know I have been following the videos on YouTube and have been impressed with the progress. How's tuning coming along with the AEM FIC? Not a very common tuning tool for the 2G, so I'm sure I am not the only person on here anxious to hear about your results.

So far its running pretty good. I didn't install the wastegate valve seat in my last video so it wasn't running too good and had a sluggish boost but now its running much better. I still need to mess with the tuning but it runs pretty good with the auto injector adjustment the FIC offers. I need to recheck my boost controller and see if its hooked up right because im over boosting right now(my ic pipe popped off at 15psi on the way home). I just haven't had a chance to mess with the data log yet.

Nice. Glad to hear things are coming along. Keep in mind that if you want to push it to over 15psi, you are going to have to tune spark too. The stock ignition map is good to about 15-16psi on a smaller turbo like the 16G. I forget exactly what size you are running, but I believe it is bigger. If I were you, I wouldn't be pushing more than 12-13psi without retarding spark. Keep it safe bro. The last thing you want to do is tear it all apart for a rebuild.
