I don't think I'm modding it anymore and going to probably sell the stuff I have on it now.

Someone on the forum already has my turbo stuff(except one thing I still need to send them) however I still have to get rid of the motor's internals, pistons/rods and the sleeved block with crank...haven't figured out what I would do with it yet.

Too much money for something I may never track. Besides, I like AWD now.

The pistons/rods are listed in the black market and would actually like to sell asap. You should check it out, selling for almost half what I paid originally. The sleeved block will be available once I sell the pistons/rods.

You didn't say anything mean about it....Well, I wish you luck with your future projects and whatever AWD car you got your hands on. Good luck DJ.

So how are you passign emmisions? my turbo dosnt pass emmissions because its over OBD2. so i havet ochange everything to stock every 12 months, its a bitch!
Also, how are you dealing with heat? I know 9-10 psi daily produces alot of heat.
In conclusion, how did you get a stand alone ECU to work without using conversion harnesses ect.

1) I got my emissions done the same day I dropped off the car for the work. In Maryland, you only get an emissions test every 2 years.
2) In Maryland, obd2 cars don't get an exhaust fume test. They just scan your ecu for codes, so if you don't throw a code or if it looks fine, then you are good.
I'm not sure where you are located. After I purchased the Tec3r standalone unit, I ended up not using it because I decided not to go through with this process. I had aftermarket radiator fans, along with some nice exhaust wrapping which kinda kept temps down. The TL wasn't daily driven so wasn't something I really had to deal with.
9-10psi? That's kinda going go be hard on your car IMO. Are you running a t4 turbo or t3/t4? If its t3/t4, then for one its probably to small for a 3.2 V6 so 9-10psi won't make any power any probably or will die out wayyyyyyyy before redline is reached. If you have a t4 turbo, then you are good and don't need to run 9-10psi. You could be safe and run 6 or 7 while still excluding 300+whp. Also, tuning is the key. I highly suggest tuning your car prior to driving it around if you want everything to last(especially the motor since it wasn't built to be a turboed car)

Sometimes. I actually drove it twice last week to work. I need to stop though. I'm waiting for my emissions thing to come in the mail so I can make some changes.

black market? Ebay? depending on my suppliers... i just may buy those rods from you if you hadn't already sold them. pistons? i have a different compression ratio in mind. at the same time, im gathering parts for this 6 speed conversion.
