Boost Brothers Turbo Install.

Another tune option is contact lito or Eric Brooks. They both have extensive experience and will do remote tuning for you. They will send you a base tune to get you up and running then have you data log so they can fine tune it. Several members have had good luck with both guys.

How does the whole data log thing go? is that on a dyno, or street driving or what?

+1 on Lito, he has answered a lot of questions for me and I wish I would have had him tune my car. If I had a wideband right now I would be having him retune my car from scratch. BTW, I believe he is very reasonable when it comes to price. PM him and he will help ya out.

Datalogging is very easy once you get the hang of it. All you need is a Xcal 3 and the livelink software which is free off SCT's website. Any tuner can even send you a file of parameters to log with if you send them your strategy code and then you just open that in livelink and go for a drive with your laptop.

Do I need to have the xcal3 or can I use my SCT Livewire?

Started on the car today. Got all the hoses and wires re-routed, changed injectors, removed bumper, removed airbox, and started on coldside piping. I will be back at it in the morning.

I could have gotten more done but the rollback wrecker had a crank sensor go out and i spent 3 hours troubleshooting it and 10 minuts replacing the part...

Yes you can data log with your Livewire.

I did a little more work on it Friday, but didn't touch it the whole weekend.
Today I have to run to the hardware store because the kit is missing 2 T fittings...

Got my KB BAP from BBR Friday also,

Sorry about the lack of updates.

I have been really busy with work, (on call 24 hours) and just havent had the time/motivation to work on the car.

I am missing 2 fittings that didn't come with the kit. Also I just got my SOS dual guage pillar pod, wideband, and boost gauge that I bought from Lee's05GT (thanks bud)

I am gonna try to work on it some more today or tomorrow.

 

[Randy_S_14]

Well, I have gotten most of the kit together. Just have to reconnect some hoses, all new fluids, and wire up the wideband, boost guage, and boost a pump... which I have no idea what to do with it. I know there is a diy guide for the boost a pump but I think the colors of the wires changed for the 2010.

Ditch the hump hose connector in front of the maf its just going to create turbulence and replace it with normal straight coupler. Also replace those worm gear clamps with tbolt clamps asap.

Siliconeintakes.com has everything you need.

Also get your self a piece of pipe and coupler to route that intake filter out from behind the damn radiator fan.

It appears you have a bit too much angle on your turbo center cartridge, I wouldnt exceed more than 10-20 degree angle for proper oiling/cooling.

Did the kit come with new upper coolant crossover pipe/hose?

Thanks for the advice

 

[HEMI LOL]

get a DEI hest wrap for the hot side of the turbo, looks really close to the intake.

 

[JeremyH]

No prob, best of luck with the rest of the install.

I dont understand what you mean here. Could you explain a little more? thanks

Yes it did, I will be connecting it this morning.







Can anyone confirm if the wire colors on the 2010's changed for installing a Boost-A-Pump?

Also, my wideband has an O2 sensor, is there a specific place this should go?

The center housing on your turbo, where you connect your oil lines. It needs to be as close to straight up and down as you can get it. You have it angled front to back a bit. this will cause oil to not flow through the housing properly, causing improper lubrication and flow.

As for your wideband, put the O2 about 12" from exit of the turbo.

This

Yes the wire color changed search 2010 bap and you will find threads on how to in stall it and the correct wire color.

 

[Randy_S_14]

Thanks guys, you are really helpful


Also, with the turbo feeding off of the engine oil should I add a little more oil when I change it from now on?
