I love this build. Keep up the awesome work!

Thanks, But that is not me doing the welding that is Joe ( 8) 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.

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.

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
