Turbo 533i Running *Videos*
Thats right. Much thanks to Jay in Va for shippin the most important package. I installed the ECU and right away the baby fired up and idled. It read 10 vacuum until it warmed at started to read 15-16. I still need to tighten down the head bolts one last time but i forgot my 19mm at home. I swear I brought it with me. I tuned the AFM a few clicks and that seemed to clean up the idle significantly. I drove the car to my friends appt about 1000yds away and got on it in first gear just once. It sounds great. Its a whole different car and I cant wait till I get to ride this baby at 3am on ATL highways with noone on them .
Videos will be up shortly. Ill take one or 2 of the car idling and going around the parking lot. Once again. Many thanks to everyone who has helped me on this project. Ill let you know more about the car when I get back from the store.

Schoool started monday. What a drag. I love it though. Got some good classes and some bad ones but thats how it works. Ill have a short video online in the next few days. The new housewe moved into is great and Comcast is sintalling the 6mb office internet line today so I should be able to get online from my house in the next day. I cranked it up last night and it still sounds sooo sweet. It looks like there is no oilpan gasket on the engine or it has been eaten away in one point. Ill work on getting that replaced.
Jay, I have your $$, but I dont like logging into Paypal at the school. Ill mail you the $$. Gimme a call or something.

Im working on uploading the video for the bmw I took last night. Racked up a strong 6-7psi in 1-3 gears with 2nd chirping hard, but i let off cause it was 3am and I didnt have a lisence plate on the car so I didnt wanna bring too much attention. The car sounds GREAT with the exhaust actually connected. Its quiet in front and LOUD in back. When I get the vid up you all should be more than pleased. I did the video pull with 3 ppl in the car and a full tank of gas so.....it seemed quick, but I bet it will get quicker.
As promised. 7-8psi in 1-3 gears. Suonds good with the idle video too.

I didnt really put my petal to the floor on any of the runs except one to check the boost levels and see if the wastegate was doing its job. I was also ridin with 2 xtra people and a full tank. Ill make a btter set of vids with the car after I install all the new goodies I made/bought. These cars have an endless amount of mods to be done. I keep adding to the list and not making the list any smaller. Thats what this labor day weekend is for.

Funny story, i got pulled over in the car already in the church parking lot literally 1000ft from my hood. 3am I took it out there to do some testing cause there arent houses and its an empty lot with lights. The cop sees me pull in and park and then proceeds to pull me over as I am changing spots. I dont blame him for stopping someone at 3am with a loud car, no shoes on, and no lisence plate. Definitly a good scare.
The car also got a bath. Never seen white paint shine so nicely. I cant believe this thing is going to be my daily driver. It might be too much......
