Sweet..:.: great to see you got the kit installed!! Have you collected any data yet?? Once Wes worked thru the data i collected for my area and dialed in the tuning... Nothing but sweetness .... The jeep is truly sick on and off the road!!! So happy for you man.... I see nothing but food times to come for you. I was out data collecting the other day...I think I turned a WRX owner.... Into a Jeep lover. Enjoy

Yes, I've sent in 4 data files so far and have gotten the tune to a point that this is the hardest pullin monster I've ever build next to my 930 but of course we're talkin magnitudes of difference in money spent

Nice ride bro..... 30 year PCA and SCCA club racer... Built a ton of cars for the Boys at microsoft... As they built their empire.... Had a shop with my x father inlaw "Tiad West Performance". my only water cooled Porsche.... 944 Turbo with the little 2.4L pushing 530 at the wheels... Lots of fun and a ton of great racin. Again... Very happy for ya... You're in great hands.... Wes is the shit when it comes to tuning... Ive been pushing him to work with me on my blown Hemi...work up a front mount twin kit and see what we can do at the track. I just installed my BAP ( spare parts from my last hemi build) last weekend... So now i just need to order the head studs and BOV spring from Wes.... And rock mine to 12 psi.... Stoked

Just curious... how does the highflow muffler sound? Does it drone at certain RPM's if so what RPM's?
I am wanting to do this BAD. Great thread, thank you for sharing!

Today I got the turbo blanket in and installed it. No video yet but I'll get it done soon
Not sure if its my imagination or not but the heat from the engine bay seems to be entering the cabin...hopefully this will help!

This muffler sounds much better then stock, but its not real load so I couldn't really hear it over the boostin! However, I'll listen for drone and let you know.

Actually, I think it help send some of the heat to travel on down the line. If it gets too hot this summer ill wrap the pipe from the vband down to the bottom of the of the motor and that should send even more heat outta the engine compartment.

Yeah it will definitely send the heat down the line. But odds are the heat is exhaust related.
