It does suck, but it could be worse. I'll get it sorted out soon enough.. I was pissed at first, then I thought about you and your waiting game and I felt better!

Yeah I was reluctant to go with these gauges but now I'm glad I did, I really like the way they look with the white faces and black bezels.. and will match my white interior panels too. I like em!

They should have. My new ones are the same and they came with another set/color.

Yes, they came with black faces and black bezels installed. I like the look of the white faces so I switched them out. It came with silver bezels too.

how low does the fabberage TT setup sit to the ground? im sitting with a 1" drop right now and i know the kit comes with the skid plate, but i want to make sure i wont have issues with clearance on the bottom. so if anyone has any information on how low the kit is to the ground would be greatly appreciated.!

Everything is tucked up nicely, nothing really sits below the subframe except the skid plate, which seems to sit about an inch below the subframe and then the bolts heads are pretty thick.. if I hit the bolts a lot then I might try to cut and recess the rear holes so the bolts will be tucked and not stick down. Haven't really drove around much yet so we will see.
I got everything back together but still need to run the wires for the boost controller and afr gauge. I need to figure out the best way to run all the wires and vacuum line through the firewall. Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow. I did start it today and let it idle for about 15 minutes while data logging it. Man does it sound mean at idle!! Brian with Fabberge and the tuner want me to make 3 data logs. One at idle, one driving around staying out of boost, and if all goes well, one driving around getting into boost. I don't want to go driving anymore until I get the gauges wired. Can't wait though! This install has definitely taken longer than I would have liked, mainly because this injector issue and me not having time to mess with it.

Don't Sleep on My V6

With all the different turbo kit I've seem for the V6 are mount the same. If you hit or rip something off it was doing to hit the sub frame or exhaust pipes anyway.

Here's a couple pics of the skid plate. The spacers are just temporary. You can see from the side shot how much I would gain by recessing the rear holes. Plus that way when I hit the skid plate it would distribute all the stress. I'm afraid if I hit the heads of those bolts that it will mess up the nut setters that they thread into.

I think I finally got all the bugs worked out, the car is running great. Maybe a little on the rich side but I'm sure it's just the safe canned tune. I'm going to drive it like this for awhile on just the wastegates, maybe a few hundred miles. Then were going to data log back and forth and make a better tune with more timing and more power and turn up the boost.
Permagrin has definitely been installed!! I loved the General Gmax all seasons before but now I'm not sure they are going to cut it. But for now that's ok, they will be the savior for my little rear diff and axles. Next step will be an SS diff (or 1LE, need to look into it more) and maybe some 18" drag radials.
