I had the Apexi AVC-R installed today and that thing looks very sweet. I am hoping it will function properly as well. I haven't had a chance to play with the settings and I left the instruction manual at the shop (stupid me). Could someone tell me how to change the boost level? I don't want to risk playing around with it and screwing something up. I just want to try different settings to see how accurate it is compared to the readings I see on the Autometer boost gauge.
I also had the msd 6a installed with the blaster coil. The temperature reading is lower now. I am guessing I am getting a better/more burn so shouldn't that increase the temperature unless it was burning as it was going exiting from the manifold? Could someone shed some light on this matter?
The S200 was put in and the chip was burned from my old program. The tuner didn't get a chance to tune anything with my bigger turbo, but it runs fine. The idle control on the S200 seems to be much better as it is very steady now. Hopefully when I get it fully tuned, I can finally dyno it.
On a side note, I had the Alpine cda-7998 installed today as well. Pretty nice HU. Too many functions and I am still playing around with it. I am a happy man right now.

Hehe I didn't even bother checking out the site. Just didn't even think about it for some reason. I guess I am just on a high right now and not thinking right. Thanks clendaniel.
edit: The setting is for .60 which should give me 8.8psi to my calculations give or take but I am only seeing 6-7psi on the Autometer boost gauge. I guess I should trust the AVC-R more than the gauge?
Nice and clean install by the tuner. He also put the HU in for me.
The boost level works with the duty cycel settings. You have to really read the manual well in order to figure out how to adjust the duty cycle properly and it takes a little adjusting to get it right. It's kinda screwy.

very very nice...good to see things up and running with you..i still gotta check out your diesal setup..i feel so inferior rite now...dam you! we still gotta meet up so i can drool over your car...
It's mounted right next to the battery on the left side if you are looking at it from the front. I'll post some pics up when I get home today. They built a custom bracket to hold the blaster coil as well. I put a pick of the Greddy oil catch can as well later.
Ummm yea, I should have some time this weekend if it's not raining. But sure, I would be up for meeting.
Here are two pics I took near midnight. I took some in complete darkness so only two were worth uploading. I'll take some more later.
On a positive note, my car is running really well now. I've got the boost set for around 8.8 psi. I was told by the tuner I could boost more if I wanted as the a/f was good and they boosted to 10psi with no issues. I am getting temps of 1200 degrees F at 70mph cruising and 1400 at full boost. I'll keep it down a bit for now as I want to enjoy the car before I something happens (hopefully not). I just need the 3" exhaust system to come in before I dyno. It was a great day for me today .
Nice install by the tuner. Props and many thanks to RPMNYC.
You can just see the Greddy catch can on the lower right mounted on to the bracket for the radiator fan.
Anyone know a dyno shop around North Jersey that can print out a/f as well? I know Bullish and Kaztech has a dyno but I don't think they can monitor a/f ratio. Must dyno soon while everything is good.
