Thanks guys!
I can’t wait to get the car to Julian!
I took a ton of pics of the install to help others out who get stuck.
Man the Greddy instructions suck! I have a whole new respect for the guys that do this for a living!
If I had it to do all over again I’ll definitely drop the motor – It was my buddies shop and he was uncomfortable with that so I opted to do it in the car.
I’ll be happy if I never have to touch the wastegates ever again! When I replace the exhaust I’ll probably do the wg relocation kit as well though...
New exhaust is coming soon; I need to wait for the fallout to blow over with the wife for this project first!
The APS Extreme fuel system took longer to install then I had thought, especially getting the return/equalizing line and retaining clip on the sending unit… that’s probably because it was 2AM and I had lost all usefulness by around 11.
Side note; any body have an extra Greddy Windshield Washer tank?

I'm picking it up tomorrow!!!!
Ran into a few problems, but the guys over at MRC got me all straightened out!
I threw a CEL on the way down; the passenger side O2 sensor had chafed on the heat wrap for the fuel lines and grounded out the sensor heater circuit. Then it was running leaner on one bank then the other. Turned out one of the pumps wasn't running properly, Julian mentioned a problem with the wiring so it's very possible it was another error on my part...
Fortunately for me they were able to clean up my mistakes and get the car running great!
Julian took the time to focus on the torque curve and quick spool-up for me because he knows I'm going to track the car this summer(road course).
I've got to say, that my experience with MRC has been top-notch so far. I know I'm high maintenance and Julian has really helped me feel better about this whole process. He kept me in the loop during the entire troubleshooting process which meant a lot to me. Not many places would do that. It shows they care about their customers and understand; being car guys themselves, how hard it is to leave your baby with a stranger.
I'll post the numbers when I get home tomorrow, and very soon some lap times from Lime Rock
