I just hit submit on Lindsey's page for:
2 Gauge A-Pillar Pod
MBC
Misc. stuff for other mods, hoses, fittings, etc.
That little stuff adds up quick...
Only need an Ostrich/Chips, VDO Boost Gauge, WBO2, Auxbox, and some other small maintenance stuff and I'll be ready to start having some real fun. It's sloooowly coming together
I've been looking at picking up one of those, it's a bargain compared to the old XD-16 kit. Will you post a thread once you get it all hooked up?

Will do, it might be a little while, I need to pull the lindsey racing 3" exhaust system to weld the bung. Not too hard, just time consuming.

It was a very Merry Christmas...
Actually pulled the trigger on this back in November after talking with Dave McGrath (CEP) & Neil Harvey @ Performance Developments about my goals with the car, both great people to work with BTW. I decided to install a "Link / Xtreme" stand alone engine management system. The new ECU unit (in red) came in on 12/23 so I consider this a Christmas gift to myself. I picked up the harness a couple of weeks ago from Neil and have started to install, incredible piece of wiring work. We added some additional sensor plugs e.g. crankcase pressure & oil temp to be installed at a later date and deleted the stock coil system for a coilpack.
So I thought I'd post the progress from install to dyno tune. Give you my thoughts and comments as I go along (ease of install & tuning) starting after the New Years.

My P car gave me a nice long drive Christmas morning on deserted ranch roads...four hours and an entire tank of gas!
oh, and a new intermittent stumble at idle.

Well started tearing into the projects on my list today... car is on stands and a good portion of the front of the motor is taken off. Didnt work on it much today due to the temperature and laying on cold concrete just isnt all that fun anymore..LOL Thankfully I decided to go ahead and tear into the timing belts and stuff as the old ones were really loose and were a ticking time bomb, also looks like a slight leak from the waterpump, but I have a new one here and waiting to go in while I have it all apart. May need to order a few seals and possibly a reseal kit for the oil cooler as I think it is leaking a little. Alot to do this winter....
