Well, brought her home today on a rough tune. Had to richen it up alot which is surprising (or not if you think about it). I'm aiming for 12's which I'm pretty good at seeing right now. I start to get into the low to mid 13's which is kind of concerning to me, but will be taking care of that tomorrow. I hope to get my AFR datalogging troubles taken care of sooner rather than later to ensure tuning accuracy.
As for the exhaust note, it's louder than stock... that's for sure. But it's actually quite nice. Very deep, the higher the revs, the quieter it gets (3000rpm ceiling).
Had a bit of a scare when I first took her out: I was going up the hill near the shop and almost at the top the car just dies. No stumble, no stutter, just dies. Had power, could crank. It was interesting to say the least. So I back it down in neutral and I don't see any leaks, puddles, anything that would suggest something horrible, so I think about it for a few seconds and realize it sounds like a huge vacuum leak. Light bulb dings, I go off and start looking at all the couplers. I know I tightened all of them... except, one. It was the 90* coming off the turbo that slipped off. Easy fix, just popped it back on and tightened it up and I was good to go.
Still have a few things to figure out, but all in all it looks like this project is done until some later date (after I get hitched).
