So what did you do to your SHO today!?

[Bluezone]

looks like all your free time just fell out of view.

I don't think I like the Timbre of your voice. Lol
Wood I, could I do things differently, yes.
But I beleaf things should left unsaid and not branch off into speculation.
I will stay rooted in my convictions.

Yeah it was during pandemic times so its ok...just was disappointed when he said he couldn't install

Oh I see now. Tough break

 

[Zpak]

At least he’s staying grounded and can see the barn through the trees. Now you have the opportunity to branch out into new endeavors.

 

[Kevin81]

You guys are cold as ice!

It's OK, though. He can take it. He's got strong roots. Thick skin, like bark.

This weekend at 45k miles:

Engine oil
Transmission fluid
PTU
RDU
Plugs

All Amsoil, it might be spendy, but she's worth it!

Today, I install a K&N Drop In Filter.

and now you need to get the tune uploaded!

I'm running on GH 93ao

and now you need to get the tune uploaded!

I have already have a GearHead 93 AO tune Power Pack installed. Been running for about a month now.

 

[GotGrip?]

Sourced out turbo blankets with a company in the UK called Funk performance. According to their sale rep https://funkmotorsport.com/product/mk3-turbo-blanket/ t25 blanket will fit our turbos. I'll probably be buying a set myself once I recover from my maintenance bill for timing and turbos.
EDIT: I did send pics and measurements via email to confirm size/fit.

What did I do to my SHO today? I had a professional installed my GearHead intercooler today and I loaded my revision GearHead AO 93 tune. I want to know if anyone has a GH tune with their intercooler, what do you have as your idle rpm? Mine is showing at 600 rpm after I loaded the tune.

Yep 600rpm here. Seems to be the default, but that's able to be adjusted as well

At what rpm did you adjusted too and did you adjust the rpm using the tuner?

I went along and pull the trigger today. I order my PPE downpipes and Corsa CatBack Exhaust thru Ortiz Performance. Currently I'm running a 3 BAR Map sensor, Pre-Gapped Spark Plugs, 170 degree thermostat, K&N Drop In Filter and GH Intercooler & AO 93 Tune. Is anybody running these set up with an Ortiz Tune and if so which level are you running?

 

[Bluezone]

I went out to shannonville today for the mix and match. I did about a dozen laps at the road course. Handling was really nice. I was even hanging in there with a Miata who wasn't trying too hard.
At the drag strip I tried different launch techniques and tire pressures. I'm still traction Limited. My personal best ET today with not too bad of a trap speed. This was achieved with an easy lunch and 37 PSI in the tires. I guess the Continentals like more pressure than less. So I'm officially in the 12s barely.
12.959 @ 108.84 miles per hour.

I've left it as it is for now. Once I get the rest of my installation done then if it's still a little rough then I'll adjust. I feel like the ppe downpipes may even it out some, but I may be wrong.

Congrats on the personal best! What size continental tires do you have?

You're near fbo right? Are you getting a lot of slip and squeal off the line?
