Ahh that sucks. Chryslers are kinda infamous for that though. I don't really like GMs but the newer tahoes are nice

 

Yeah, the whole dash would shut down, glad on and off, didn't need those problems, now she wants a turbo or a procharger on hers too, lol.

 

Yea that blows. Probably one of the many modules that are in that car. Haha that's awesome. My girl knows what's up too. She has a cooper s right now which is gay, but she's a girl so whatever. Next she want a Svt raptor lol

 

Raptor's bad ***!

Got to work on it today, installed the hot side, left everything loose and will tighten/adjust it all tomorrow. I plan on doing the gauges, boost controller, and go shopping for a coupler to join the h-pipe to my Saleen/Magnaflow exhaust. Going to leave the cats in place and see how it does, dont want to have to gut them. I need to hook up the catch can w/breather to the valve covers, refill coolant, oil, top off power steering, and send my info off to my tuner to get a started with the remote tune/datalog. Getting close!

 

Quick update, got the it all tightened up, wrestled the hpipe, connectors, cats, etc but it's all in. Just have the wg, sway bar, catch can, mbc and gauges. I sent my info to my tuner tonight, "Lito" Manuel Pazo, and i have two more days to work on it before i go back to work. I may wait fire the start up tune then change my stock plugs for the Brisk spendy plugs, not sure yet. Ill post pic tomorrow.

 

Dude I can't wait to see a video

 

Can't wait to record it, lol. Got the coolant filled, swaybar, wastegate installed, just waiting fur the tune and mount the breather and mbc. **** phone won't let me post pics...

 

Got the catchcan with breather and boost controller installed, made my own brackets, looks good. Got my tune emailed to me, trying to figure out how to save my stock and custom tune to my laptop just to be safe, then upload the startup tune to the xcal. Going to start wiring my gauges tomorrow, just not sure how I'm going to power them up, there are people using an add-a-fuse to the passanger side kick panel fuse box, others saying they splice into existing cig lighter and back of radio wire. What's the best way? I dont want any short-cuts or my car catching on fire, lol. Thanks in advance.

 

I think the add a fuse is the best way to get your power. Just look at your fuse box and you can tap into always on, or key activated.

When I added my gauges on my charger I used the weatherproof painless performance three circuit cirkitboss. It isolates your additions from the rest of the cars circuitry.
Find a good ground off of the block as well. I added an innovate lc1 wide band o2 sensor for afr, mechanical boost gauge, fuel pressure sensor. I wired the fuel pressure and lc1 to the analog inputs on an aero force interceptor gauge. I put the two gauges in a two pod a-pillar mount. Peace of mind when running forced induction.

 

Thanks for the help guys, should have been more specific, here's how they need to be setup:
Red- Constant 12v source
Orange- Head/taillight source ( only powered when they're on)
White- switched source (key on)
Black-ground

The fuse box has two spots for a switched source but just one for constant. I was told I can get my headlight source from the hl switch-light yellow w/blue stripe wire.
Question is, can I put the two daisy chained gauges and the wideband onto the one source (hl switch/constant/switched)?
Thanks guys!

 

Got it figured out, had some gremlins to chase down but figured it out. Will reinstall them on the pod today and crank my car. Just need a few hrs of sleep, worked graveyards last night. These gauges look awesome!

 

I want videos. Now. Lol

 

So do I! I'm having problems with the live load working on my lap top, keeps giving me an error message and its holding me up from saving the stock tune and uploading the start up one. Ran out of time now I'm taking a short vacation, spending the weekend with my wife at my buddy's beach cabin and going to NMRA/NMCA races here in a few hrs. I really wanted to bring my car but its not ready, no biggie. Figured out the problem with my gauges, fixed it, they look great imo. Lets see if i can post pics...

 

Got it running, sounds quieter, but had a deeper tone to it. It was very hard not to rev it to hear the turbo but I managed to just let it idle. No leaks, no weird noises, just had a cel light come up, it was the high air intake temp, just unplugged the mafs, rerouted it to keep it away from great sources, cleared the cel and didn't come back. Tried to do a log but couldn't get the car to talk to live link on my lap top. My buddy's conning over tonight to see if he can help, he just installed a turbo kit on his 05GT and were both using the same tuner and both have xcal2s. Hopefully its something simple and can get this first log done.

 

I want to see this thing on the dyno. Fml PLEASE!!!!!!!!

 

No dyno for a while, its getting a remote tune, datalog at the track/Mexico/street. May put it on a dyno some day but I'm not worried about numbers, as long as it runs good and everything looks good on the datalog, I'm happy. I'll run it at the track to get an idea of where I'm at. I uploaded some pics and vids on my photo bucket account, I'm not sure how to get the link on here though.

 

Well, nothing good since the last update. Tried to get the car running again to record a log and it wouldn't start, tried it about 5 times till the battery died. Noticed a gas smell, looked under the car and there was fuel dripping out of the hot side, the engine got flooded with fuel. So I checked my brand new Mobil1 oil I just poured in last week and it reeks of gas... Ok, so I walked away from it to cool off, I was pretty heated.

I informed my tuner of what happened, he sent me another tune with less fuel in it this time, took the battery to get fully charged and was planning to take the spark plugs off, clean them up, anti-seize them and put them back in just to get the first log done. First plug-broke... I broke it loose about 1/8 of a turn, sprayed Seafoam Deep Creep and let it sit overnight, still no luck.

So now I'm waiting on the Lisle broken spark plug removal tool to get here on monday, until then, I'm just going to enjoy time with my family and maybe just zip tie wires/hoses, etc.
Plan is to remove that one broken tip, replace it with a used plug from my buddy, get it running, log it, and after the first log, replace them all with my good Brisk 1step colder plugs. On a good note, my buddy gave me a ride in his not fully tuned turbo 3v...holy-turd... that thing MOVES! Now I really cant wait to have mine done.
Here's a few pics on my photobucket account, enjoy...

Thought I'd give another update, broken plug is out, the rest came out after warning the engine up, cracking then loose, sprayed with seafoam, sat overnight, came out. Put the new plugs in, runs allot smoother. I was able to get a log done and sent off to my tuner, but its not picking up the maf count, the saga continues...

 

The more I read the more I want a precision 76 on my 5.0....
