Preview of the 2.3 CL-T
Been working on this for a few hours a day for the past week. Hope to finish troubleshooting and have it tuned by this weekend.

Made it all the way around the block today! Still have a shitty idle and check engine light but the oil seems to be under control now. Hopefully I'll make it to the dyno tomorrow and have some graphs for you tomorrow.

Didn’t niedejb have a 2.2? I heard that they can handle more boost because of the compression ratio (8.8:1) as opposed to the 2.3 (9.3:1). Then again I could be wrong....Anyhow, great job man, i hope you get your problems squared away.

Tomorrow's the big day. I hope I make the 90 minute drive to the tuner without blowing up, catching on fire, or getting pulled over (running open downpipe is a little bit loud). Best case scenario I will have some nice graphs for you all tomorrow, worst case I either dont make it all the way there or they cant finish the exhaust fabrication and tuning in one day.
