I was anticipating some issues dialing in the vacuum levels on the ITBs, based on what I’ve read here. Surprisingly, it wasn’t a problem at all. Using the synchro tool, all but one were reading 4, with only cylinder 3 slightly off at 3.5. A small tweak to the bleed air screw was all it took to get things lined up. Honestly, I probably could have left it alone.
Eager to get the car on the road, I quickly cobbled together a bracket to hold the start/stop switch. It’s definitely temporary—I need to come up with something better. Even just painting it black would be an improvement.
I finally took the car out for a 10-mile drive, and wow—what a difference. The throttle response, the sound, the feel—it’s night and day. I’m currently running a very conservative base map, so I know there’s still plenty of room for refinement.
