All my parts are in... is there anythign I can do to before S/C install?

0949er · April 11th, 2010, 12:51 PM

Hey guys. so all my parts are in (minus the pillar gauge holder from AM). I will be installing the s/c in the new 3-4 weeks at my buddies garage. Is there ANYTHING I can do ahead of time to help prep the car? I have:

BBK 78mm TB
New Plugs
42lb injectors
mounting bracket

...

those are really the only things I would think I could do ahead of time (minus the injectors because they def would need a tune after install.) What about the throttle body though? Would my car run pretty shitty after the install (before a tune? that's a lot of extra air).Thanks for the input

i'm sure you can use that throttle body. You can install all your guages except your boost guage.

0949er · April 11th, 2010, 01:04 PM

So my other gauge is oil pressure.... anybody wana give me a quick run-down on where That goes "in-line" wise?

no he can set up his boost gauge as well. just T it into a vacuum line. and you can mount the head unit to the mounting bracket to save some time too.

yup do everything you can do short of the injectors and the head unit in preparation. good luck, post pics, and have fun!

haha yeah probably, but it would save some time.

Imran · April 11th, 2010, 03:02 PM

so it will read you vacuum stuff instead of boost, eh?

mell0 · April 11th, 2010, 03:18 PM

yeah at WOT it would hit the 0, but at all other times would be under vacuum.
