Weekend Project
Santa showed up a little late this year, ECS, Alky, TSP, Carbon dash. Got my work cut out for the weekend. Been out of the game for a couple years, glad to be back in with the C7, I'm surprised I made it 1000 miles before tearing into it.

Got a little head start last night, torn down, water pump swapped, between ECS instructions and some forum threads looks like a pretty straight forward install, hopefully I can take a few pics as I go.

SC installed and headers done. Install went pretty well, I had to take a little time off to watch some football though. Its -25 outside this weekend so I don't think I'm driving anytime soon. Alky Control install today, along with the dash, need to call ECS to see what plugs to run without restrictor use.

Been doing a little here and there the last few days between getting kicked off my lift and having to do some real work. Thanks to Fyreant's instructions on the alky control that went very smooth, just waiting for the A/F and boost gauge to finish it all up. I'm going to get it all up and running before I order the FSP breather/catch can.

Talked to Doug yesterday to get the tune, super nice guy, had me a tune within an hour. Fired the car up and it sounds great, gonna suck to have to wait for the snow to go!!!!
Looks like I'm gonna have to do a little trimming on the air deflectors, I'm lowered all the way on lowering bolts so that was to be expected. I'm very happy with everything, the ECS kit was packaged great and very easy to install, same with the alky kit and headers. Thanks to all those posting install threads they also helped out a lot. Now to get some wheels and tires for the track
