Why does my car think its X mas?

It must be, that all of the sudden these goodies came in today.. 82mm TB, Mezaire 20GPM pump (what a beast at 7lbs!), and a custom made light-weight water pump pulley. (see pics).. Stock water pump pulley is 15 ounces and most of the aftermarket kit pulleys are around 22 ounces, if I recall.. Well, this one is only 8 ounces. So, about a 70% reduction in rotational weight off my water pump.. Is this a must mod, well it is for me. I guess it was just one of those little things that bothered me.

Oh yeah, then last Friday before the last LET tune box shipped out of Houston to California, I was able to acquire another reflash from Jerry. Even at 500 RWHP , still had another 10-15 very safe HP gain above 3000 rpm. Did not expect to feel the gain but damn,, I was wrong. I had to jump across four lanes from a 30mph roll and now I think I know what the art of drifting really is..lol

What TB is that? I know there was some talk about another much larger (and cheaper than aftermarket) OEM TB bolting up but nobody was coming forward with a part number.

Yes, have to make a bracket but have not designed it yet. Plan to use HDPE (high density polyethelene) for the bracket.

kjlindgr What TB is that? I know there was some talk about another much larger (and cheaper than aftermarket) OEM TB bolting up but nobody was coming forward with a part number.
The part number has been removed, so not sure. It has a bosch electronic number but that can be used on many TB`s. I have to do more re-search and see if it is the model I need. Have to fabricate an inlet bracket but that is easy.. Going to plug it in and see if my electronics will open and close it to start with.

What makes you think that? From and Audi, not that you may be high..

I hope so but hope it works first.

Summit and Jeggs carry the pumps. The TB came from AMS (Vendor here) but it seems to be for an Audi. Waiting to hear what the numbers I posted ring up.
