Well after giving everything its own ground I had no luck with the wideband. Finally read around and saw there was a drop down menu you can choose for logging by manufacturer. I chose the AEM and then what do you know.. Perfect and in sync.

Got to the oil pressure sender, replaced it and the gauge still didn't work. low and behold the ground and power were switched with each other. How I managed to do that I have no clue. Switched them back, gauge works perfectly. For shits and giggles I put the old sender on again to see if it were actually bad.. Still was. So I lucked out on that one.

Updates to follow tomorrow!

You gotta bring her by the house when you get her up and running Justin


Definitely man!


Also I know I said I would update everyone "tomorrow" but got home and passed out and been running around like a chicken with my head cut off with my new job and school.

But the car is awesome, don't have it fully finished yet due to some small things. But the wideband is logging right now and got the correct logs to lito. I got about 50 miles on her now along with about 15 minutes of idle time. still have a whine, we're starting to think its the AC compressor. It's making noise with RPM. Also we are hearing a noise in the transmission, I emailed Stan at Pro Force Performance and told him what was happening. He says its just the harder input shaft, the teeth on the tips of the gears might be sharp, etc. and it sounding better and better the more I drive it.

He did recommend putting synergyn "syngear II" in it. Substitute a quart of fluid for a quart of that. I might try it and see if it helps.

Other than that I can't wait for the weekend to drive some more. I have Friday's off now. working 4 10's a week plus class at night until 10:30 kills. Along with the new job being 35-40 minutes away. Makes for late nights and early mornings.

So been debating on turbo parts, is everyone's likings a electronic boost controller or just relying on a spring with a boost gauge or even with a manual in car boost gauge, I understand the pros and cons of both, just not sure with what I want to go with.
