Joe Cool in my book) he is a co-worker/friend of a friend who offered to do the welding and for me he has become a saint, because I don't want to think of what this would run to pay someone to do all the welding he has done.

Ok it seems to be that Blitz hired an 8 year old to write there instruction manuals so and Tial followed bested them and got a 6 year old to do there's so can you guys validate this for me. I searched but there was not much specific info for a TT setup using each of these manufactured together. And I noticed that some things changed based on teh manufacturer, but never specifically what.
Here is the link to the Blitz boost Controller, for reference I have the Spec S

Tials instruction manual for the wastegates
(I know you guys know this forward and backward but I figured I would add it in case someone wanted to reference it)

Don't forget me guys I am still going at this just not much to update lately time to work on the car has been sparse
Had to make sure the fujitas were going to fit, they did and the rubber couplers will go away before too long
As I was painting the covers I primed them a cast metal color and then painted them purple, I noticed accent effect taking place so went with it you can tell better in person its actually pretty cool though not my best work.

Not much to add yet other than testing the AEM FI/C on my cars daily driven twin successfully as far as not throwing a CEL while connected and idling and verifying that the gauges were able to receive and interpret the information. Not a huge step but it had not yet been confirmed to my knowledge other than one person saying it was possible but. and I got a little more aesthetic and some small misc. stuff in preparation for the first fire.
white zip ties are temporary.

She is a little dirty but she's out of the garage (had to turn it around). I am at the point where I am just about ready to start the tweaking and tuning phase. It idles fine but I am not running off the AEM yet so it pins at 14.7 AFR at idle. The boost gauge is hooked up but I still need to do some minor work to hook up the other gauges. This was a huge step for me though because it had not been out of the garage in 6 months lol, hence how dirty it is. There is also a leak of brake fluid from somewhere that I gotta track down.
The first time I fired it up I forgot to block off the EGR pipe, lol she didn't want to stop accelerating, running rich plus additional air = acceleration. sorry for the darkness and movement vid was taken with a camera and hanging from the engine hoist
After fixing that and firing it up it was able to stay on long enough to know I had to remove a vacuum line from the intake off the air boost controller so it could decelerate
Not warmed up yet iin this vid so she is still idling a little high
I promise higher quality pics and vids here in the future
