    Ran into a problem yesterday, went to start the Camaro and just got a click No start, replaced the battery, Damm voltmeter was messed up showing 8-9 volts even on my truck, so bad voltmeter cost me a battery, still just a single click so ordered a starter. Should get it Monday. In the meantime I’m going to wack the starter to see if it will turn over. If it’s not the starter then having it towed to the shop. Looked at fuses, tried different key, reloaded the tune, checked wires.

    Got some more tuning in today, part throttle is great, probably couple more runs and should be tuned. Still smoking pretty bad from the coated pipes, those who get the kit, don’t coat the pipes just use heat wrap. I did both but the 2000 degrees heat paint is burning off like crazy and it’s cool out and I really haven’t gotten on it hard.

    Should of mentioned this earlier, but those who install the EBay turbo headers will have to move the power steering res. and on the passenger side header you might need to hammer the heater box back alittle to get the O2 sensor to fit, mine was way off so it was hammered in quite a bit. Don’t know about the EGR since mine is deleted. That’s about all the problems we ran into besides the my GT35R being too tall for the hood, so double check the clearance of your turbo.

    I’ll see if my neighbor will take a video of me driving. The turbo spool is loud.

    Getting closer, I think I can drive it down to the shop to get my tires and down pipe to exhaust routed, no WOT runs yet. Maybe Thursday we got rain today and supposed to be rain tomorrow. Going to call and get a appointment for beginning of April. Their usually a week or 2 backed up.

    Took the Camaro out for a couple of runs, getting closer, getting part throttle dialed in before I go WOT tunIng. Looked at the boost gauge this time 6lbs at 3000 rpms. Will try and take it out tomorrow if I get the chance, knee was killing me.
