SDAC 26, we'll get some pork at a few different BBQ places, that's for sure.

Looks great Mike! Can't wait to see it at SDAC 26.

No worries there. I've already compiled a list of the best places and mapped them out relative to the Microtel behind the Costco. The Host hotel is actually in pretty decent proximity to so many of them. Nice work on that aspect of the convention Jon!

I cannot wait to do a BBQ tour.

Back to the car. Eventually I am going to have to figure out a way to get outside air into the compressor. The exhaust is completely ceramic coated, so that should reduce underhood temps somewhat, but it would still be better to get fresh outside air. I am thinking maybe something through the hood with a rearward facing scoop that picks up air at the base of the windshield.

Do you have some temperature sensors in your intake plumbing pre and post intercooler?

I have another dual thermocouple kit i wanted to install in the inlet & outlet of the intercooler, but haven't yet. It works well, and can be set to display the differential, if you choose.

[contraption22]

The charge temp sensor is right in the cold side intercooler end tank. I'll eventually add sensors for pressure and temperature for the hot side. I'm sure the charge temps will be plenty cool, but the less work the turbo needs to do, the better.

Thanks Man! The car will not be at SDAC. I'm still debating how I'm getting there.

I thought you were riding shotgun in Craig's van?

No debating, you drag that thing down with me convoy style. Now to work Slowe's midsection for a bit...

I still know there is an open tow vehicle that's been offered.

No, no, no Gary. That's too convenient :-)

I've been humbled by the power of being able to configure and tune one's own engine management.

It was tighter when you had the 4" compressor inlet pipe. Where are you at in the tunning?

BBQ tour would kick ---.
Can you run a 90 deg. rubber hose coupler to the cowl area and filter the air in the cowl?

I'm sitting on the fence, if you want to car pool, it might get me there.

Same here, experience pays off big time.
