So want a lift! Looks good man. Can't wait to see what it does. Makes me look forward to working with blown408 on his car in my garage when all the parts get here.

Changed my name Anarchy99 now, going back to my forum name roots lol
Minor update: Car is running. Chris@ARD and Jeremy@RSI went back and forth a few times getting the base file where it should be and the car idling good. Hope to hit the dyno tomorrow.

Another update: Got a call from Chris @ ARD a few minutes ago and he was ecstatic with how the car drove and pulled(or lack there of due to wheelspin) on just the wastegate springs(roughly 6psi). This is still just the base tune with 10.5:1 A/F at WOT and he said he could not get traction in any of the first three gears when rolling in to it. Here are some final install pics that were just posted:
6psi and no traction! Im screwed lol, your killing me man cannot WAIT to get my stuff in and start installing. ARD knocked it out pretty quick as well.
What do you mean? Tap the oil pan? If so, I can only assume that they did as there is no other way to return the oil to the engine(unless you tap the valvecovers). I am guessing we just can't see where they tapped the oil pan from the picture. The only thing I don't like is how much oil is on the pan now. Make me wonder if there is a leak.
Congratulations. That shop installed that turbo kit quick.
Is that road salt on the bottom of the car? Are the roads salted where you are at? Either way, as Disturbed said, you are going to want some better traction in the rear with all of the new-found power. Have fun and be safe.

I was referring to cleaning the outside of the pan for you so it doesn't look like it's leaking all over place. They did a really nice job on everything else, very clean work. It's cosmetic..but just an eye sore.

The owner of ARD Motorsports actually helped design the RSI kit, so it would seem that he would know his way around Vipers and the kit pretty well. As for the splotches, I am not sure. I am the second owner of the car and the first one lived in Arkansas. None of the car shows any kind of corrosion or surface rust(typical of northern cars), so it makes me wonder if he ran over some paint or something? It is only on the underside of the car and is very much exacerbated by the flash of the camera.
