-IPS TT kit
-Magnaflow Exhaust
-Tune
-Cold Air Intake
-Better Rubber

Can't wait to see what the differences are.

Jeff at IPS has been great to work with so far, and they gave me a great deal on all of the work (Plus the dual gauge pod, Elec Boost Gauge and Fuel Press).

The Tin Soldier IV will be born soon........

I'll start a thread on the build.

Thanks for a great site guys.

Is this a stock part or part of kit?

breather for the kit

[JantzenOKC]

I'm still a little confused about this cap and the evac of these motors. So the breather cap has a check valve that only let's air pass one way? After you pop the valve off or whatever it is that skulla had to do, does it just let air pass freely both ways?

Another problem (shocking), no clue what it is this time. This was a light third gear throttle and this happens. Previously downshifting from 4th to 3rd was always unnatural, but now this. Thoughts, ideas? Maybe I need a tune up

You are leaning out is what's happening. Do you have AFR gauge? Not a transmission problem. I had this happen but it was years ago when I was logging to better my tune.

Agree with this, check your fuel trims. There are some cheap scanners that can do a lot of the basic diagnostics for like $50, try looking up an autel.

No I do not have an AFR gauge, what do you recommend I do to fix this? Is it a combo of the crappy weather, and the bad gas?

Was it raining? misting of water on the MAF will cause this, soaked air filters

Theres your problem, get some filter covers to help reduce it, but not eliminate it. Still need a AFR guage ( I admit that I still do not have one) it will let you know if you run lean.

[JantzenOKC]

I thought you had boost and afr gauges for some reason. What kind of boost controller did they give you?

Hopefully Sycraft is right and it's just water on the maf. I bet the filters do get pretty wet down there.
