I'm back :)
Hi guys, havent been here for a while now. I was busy the last half a year and a month ago I took the GSX out of the garage after a long sleep. Everything looks good so I decided to buy some parts. Got GM MAFT with 3" welded piping all around. Sheet alluminum intake with 3"Ford Throttle Body. Upgraded turbo, got external WG, 3.5 inch exhaust from turbo to the back. Went with 60-1 and bigger injectors. Car was also lowered, about 3 fingers off the ground, looks badass and we have no potholes around here so no problem. Upgrading a little more and hoping the stroker can help me get 500whp daily driver. A 420a guy with similar mods made 470whp with pump gas. So i should reach my goal easily. I dont want anything over 500whp for now. I just want to get into 10sec. Its been stripped down too. So I'll see what it will do at the track.

Re: I'm back :)
I got the digital camera today in the mail, so i will be making a short video. I also relocated my battery. Its in the most redicilous and best spot I have ever though of, where my SMIC used to be. Perfect,compact,almost invisible, and protected and well flanged. I didnt want to do the trunk conversion because of the many problems people have been having. Also I heard about a couple fires so I wasnt going to go through all the hassle. My friends had their batteries in the trunk and now they are amazed at my creativity. Man, I am proud. Pics soon I promise

Re: I'm back :)
Yes, it happens more too offen. One of my friends has a TSI and his dad is a experienced mechanic and very good with electronics. He did his battery relocation and bought special cables, he ran 3 to the positive because the longer the cable the resistance droped and they would get hot also some other crap which I have no clue what it meant. He also had a 150 amp fuse and other little stuff. It is more complicated then it sounds if you want to do it right. I though I would just put the battery in the trunk, run 1 cable to the ground and the other to the old positive cable under the hood.... yeah it doesnt work that way. Resistance,voltage and everything is effected. Also you have to have the fuse a certain place not too far. It was too mnuch hassle to deal with, AND with my luck and wiring I know my car would go up in flames hahaha, so I just went with more simple relocation. I will get pics.
