Quick Turbo Question

That and frothing of the oil are why you want the return above the level of the oil in the pan.

Oh darn, that sounds terrible. Would I need to take the engine out to drill into the upper oil pan assembly?

I'm also looking for a base tune that has the maf clamp already set up for the F/IC 6

With a right angle drill you should be able to do it in place. You will need to remove the oil pan when doing so to make sure you don't have any metal left behind.

For the MAF clamp it is best to follow the procedure shown in the F/IC documentation for doing so, as your air intake setup may provide different readings than on another car.

Sounds good.

I was watching the AEM tutorials and thy said to install the FIC and collect data while the car is stock first so that's what I'm trying to do.

Correct. That is how you see where the MAF needs to be clamped on your particular setup.

Thanks, I wired up the FIC (haven't soldered it yet as I'm not sure about the pinout info I have) I hooked up the bypass harness and it starts.

It idles really high (1500-2000rpm) not sure why, i haven't tried driving it yet. Hopefully I won't run into any issues and I need to get to work tonight.

If it drives well, i'll let my friend solder it tomorrow.
