missed the fpr line last time i put it together



it runs soo much better now but still no idle.



plus the CAS gear decided it wanted to chew through its wires, so i get to rewire that before i can play with it more.


theres little thingees in the cas that hold the wires out of the way

so it doesnt idle at all?



try screwing the idle stop screw in pretty far and then walk it back with the car running nice and slowly see what the lowest rpm is you can get too.

i dont have a bac, so no screw there.

the only other one i see, the one by where the throttle cable goes, is screwed all the way in.



if i put this little plate inbetween it and the throttle to hold it open barely it'll sit rock steady at 1500.

yeah i checked the pipes.

i thought you could only run s5 AFM's blowthrough style in the IC piping?



i was originally going to run mine right off the turbo outlet, but i had doubts it would work adn that i could get it to seal 100% so its in front of the turbo.



a little starter fluid love and, it seems my three vacuum caps on the front arent actually capping, my lim to uim gasket isnt actually gasketing, and my egr blockoff may not be blockoffing.



sooooo close to getting this worked out.



also, anyone know if i just run the + battery cable to the + starter post, will i be good? im rerouting my batt to the back and not sure how to wire it.



im also considereing finding a decent jetski/lawnmower battery and putting it where the cold start tank used to be behind the shock tower.

paul ko has an s4 maf that was after the turbo and in the 12's in the mid 90's. its neat he put a plexi cover on it, so you can see how far the door opens.



on my battery relocate i ran the + cable right to the starter post and then insulated the stock ends and tucked em away. for a little bit i think i ran 2 batteries, like an rv, or pauls FD
