Kind of... Its normal to find things un expected.. Just adds a few grand to my end bill... BUT its frustrating. Sometimes I just feel like im chucking money at it hahaha... Health wise it was terrible but im okay. Baby wise everything is normal as far as I know. Just hope it doesnt come out like my son.... He cost me 18k.... It sucked!

 

BUT I am debating getting rid of my navigation and using those boxes for storage for gauges and things...

 

Can't wait to see the end result bro !

 

Me either... Lets put it like this. I thought I would go in there and spend 1-3k somewhere in there for what I needed done with the tune..... WELL Then I have a cracked turbo piping system hahaha thats almost a grand right there... I will be around 3-4k I bet when all is said and done.

 

#worthit lol

 

I hope so... I just hate bills....

 

Drink more water and less dairy .

 

Well there is another issue... The scan tool will talk to the ECU, but the Uprev unit will not talk to the car... They are talking with Uprev on what to do.... FML. Always something. Im fully expecting the car to just not run when they try to turn it over. Just a error code of NO I DONT WANT TO.

 

Strong lulz

 

Here is a good update. Piping is in. Stainless Steel and welded up. Intercooler mounted and set. Bad news is they can hook up the scantool and talk to the car but the Uprev unit will not talk to the car.... This is all over my head haha. After this they are fixing the exhaust and tuning the car then its just fix the AC and rewire the cluster. Then off to my interior guy hook up the new Appleradio 4 delete my GPS system and be GOOD!!!!!

 

What do you expect to hit for numbers? Stock internals or built?

 

Built, and hoping for above 600....... But anywhere above 500 I will be happy!!!!!

 

hells yea. I was going to build this winter but things come up and wont be able to. But once built I'll be in the same boat, hoping for 600 but anything over 5 would be awesome.

 

Yea... If I could do it ALL over again I may have just done a twin turbo LS swap... That would push me above 600-1000 fairly easily.... But I am to deep in my VQ

 

Here are a few updates. Some pictures are repeats... But most are new. Those who have been following know I re wired my entire interior to accommodate a 06+ speedometer AND the clock trim... The dash from the 06+ was different than the 03. NOW before some say why spend the time modifying your 03 interior. Why not just swap the dash. YOU CANT JUST SWAP IT. ITS NOT THAT EASY. The 05 dash is shorter and a different swap it. If you do a full swap into your car the only thing you can really keep is the glove box. EVERYTHING ELSE NEEDS TO BE SWAPPED. (Dash, A pillars, Drivers kick panel, Door panels, Center Console, Waterfall, Double Din, and the Cubby pieces... ALL THAT WOULD NEED TO BE SWAPPED.

ANYWAYS. I found a dash from a totaled car and modified the center piece to fit into my current dash then covered it in suede. I also have WAY to much work wrapped up into carbon fiber to just swap it all out.

Here was what the interior looked like before the modding.

After... I have to stitch the lids though. I will be doing a black stitch on it.



06 gauge swapped in.

Swapped the LED's
