99M3 TT Stg2 build

[rodw]

That charge pipe is sitting much too low. The 2" end of the 90 silicone elbow connected to the compressor outlet needs to be trimmed slightly to raise the pipe up. The pipe should hug the subframe, and sit in the crest between the subframe and ball joint.

Thanks for the feedback Nick, I'll let David know.

Why do I always read the title as 996TT build?

This ^

Guess our minds are always in the gutter.

Any updates on the build?

[SM3]

Great Kit, you will have the best software available.

[rodw]

Unfortunately, progress has slowed down due to a missing part and David's busy schedule.

Nice lookin good! I was a little on the fence about how that yellow pc would look but I think it looks great with those wheels/ Titanium paint color. Definitely more unique than the red caliper look. How do they feel? I guess with the new Hawk pads they should be even more improved

They feel good except for the reduced initial bite with the stock brembo pads + associated brake dust. Hopefully the hawk pads are better in those two areas.

As for the build, still no progress. Hope to have it back sometime next week.

What exactly was done in order to make the MAF adapter work?

My car had the obd1 maf connector due to the dinan maf so it was just replace with an obd2 connector.

How do you like the Southbend Stage 3 so far?

[rodw]

How do you like the Southbend Stage 3 so far?

With ~150 miles so far, it feels just like the OEM clutch so I'm happy.

So much fun even @ 8psi. Power delivery is definitely different than my previous boosted cars.

Awesome! Definitely gonna have to talk to david about getting my turbo kit installed, looks like he really knows what he's doing.

He definitely knows his stuff and will get it done right. Just be prepared that the install may take some time since he's a very busy @ his shop. But in the end, all that matter to me was having it done right the first time.

Great choice on the boost controller. Best "addition" I've bought.

What gear did you use to set your boost setting? I've notice that 8.5 psi in 3rd results in 8psi in 4th.

Interesting, mine is just opposite. Generally you will build more boost in a higher gear due to load. I set my high boost in 3rd @ 20.5 and 4th is 21.5.
But as for setting, I do 3rd. This is much easier on the street, as far as speed is concerned.
