802SHO 2010 Build

Good point!  It's true I do need to divert my eyes from the road slightly to mess with it while driving and equally true I invite any talk here...gotta keep it going until I get my car back!  Off topic random stuff happens by nature, I,think we all have symptoms of ADHD.  Especially when I open my hood to do something...start looking and checking everything...save a boat load of time if I focused....but I see something shiny and focus is gone

Sm105k always pushing the livewire. Making me feel inadequate with my BDX.

The way I flog mine, I want to know everything that is going on in real time.


I do it like I do it at home. With my eyes closed pretending it’s someone else doing it.

My man, you truly don't understand the gravity of the situation until you have sat on your hand for good 20 mins, then proceed.....


Ah we call that the stranger in my parts.

Sorry Andrew we highjacked your build thread lol

Don't apologize, he loves this crap.

Good point back to the shenanigans until he gets his car back.

Your telling me! I’m trying to mount a tv in the kids room and I’m on the forums typing **** jokes. My ADHD is brutal hahaha
 
So I was looking forward to learning the health of my stock turbos...grim.  Cracked front turbo.  Perfect timing! 
 
I've never heard of it!  I didn't have a boost leak or issue that I was aware of...ticking time bomb really.  I'm glad I,dodged that bullet!

Update:  She's alive!  My mechanic did a test drive and she's ready for active duty.  He said my steering wheel is off, will definitely need a realignment and both my front struts are leaking.  Well, I think I'll push them this season and either replace or upgrade next season. 

I'm working all day tomorrow so my GF will pick it up.  My first drive will need to be in the evening.  Curious what my revision 2, 93 14 psi base tune feels like with the GH turbos and intercooler.

C'mon hot pipes...hurry up and get here! 

Brad, we got some work to do! 
 
Excellent! The IHI turbos on the Subaru's always had problems with cracks around the wastegate flapper....I think internally wastegated turbos are more prone to that...Sometimes they live a long time though.

I wouldn’t push it without it being tuned for the turbos... iirc... Matt said it took quite a bit of tweaking to get the wastegates to respond correctly. I know I’m on revision 14 and we are still tweaking the wastegate logic..

IE even on revision 13 my throttle was closing A LOT through first and second to control the boost.. Matt said he is waiting on some additional DMRs from SCT so he can dial it in better.

Good to know and thank you for that info!  My GF picked it up, I won't see if for quite a while until tonight.  I saw I had a missed call from her.  Called her back thinking something was wrong..."No I called you bc it's sooo loud!"  Haha uhmm 👌
 
Had some issues updating my SCT software to load my first new tune for the turbos and intercooler.  Got that resolved and took her for a spin.  It felt really good for being very mild to start.  I also installed my Gen2 torque mounts.  Love the feeling of being connected to the drivetrain!

Nice, I definitely need a pair of those.

As Jordan has also said. Might be the best bang for buck mod I’ve done to the sho.

That is great to know.  I am in the process of another upgrade for my SHO.  Just waiting for details to iron themselves out.  If it doesn't come to fruition then I will buy the new mounts instead.
 
Heck yeah I love the mounts.  I can feel it turning over as it starts...so it not only sounds(too loud lol) like a race car...it feels like a race car!  And smells like one!!!!  When I start it with the garage door open ....I end up smelling like I went ripping on some dirt bikes 😎
 
Just in time for Revision 3 to start playing with Meth I also picked up another 5 gal VP M1 as I was all out.  Perfect timing!  Didn't need Meth for Revision 3 but we wanted to start playing so after I did a 3rd gear pull with just 93, I did a 3rd gear pull with Meth.  Wow!  As the old saying goes you don't know what you have until it's gone....when that meth sprayed even though I didn't need it...i felt it!  Instant responsiveness....and check out my IAT2 temps!  In just a single 3rd gear pull it dropped the initial IAT2 down 60 degrees putting me at 10 degrees below ambient!  Simply amazing! 

Decided to Google AWD Dyno near me...all of a sudden out of the blue...this other company Green MTN Gear-Heads pops up out of no where...literally never heard of them.  I call, they DO have an AWD Mustang Dyno 1100SE in the ground...and they've been hiding in plain sight for the last 3 years 20 min from my house!  I said ,"Huh?  I've never seen you guys before on Google."  "We're working on that", he said.  Holy crap this is awesome!  Made an appt June 13th at 3pm.  Hoping Brad can do some remote tuning then or if need be I'll reschedule for when he can.  At least now I have more time to get all my mods done as well!
