Feezy's Build Thread - 2002 New Formula Red

Great write up as always! The car sounded and runs amazingly well. Can't wait to see it with the lip on there
As someone that has the boltons and a tune I can attest to the ITB's feeling and sounding totally different. Between the sound, throttle response and power it feels like it just revs forever and wants to keep revving. The sounds it makes are reminiscent of the barks an f1 car makes just subdued since the motor is under the hood. I one day hope to have an AP1 as well and think this is a great way to go for that car.

Great write up, glad to see everything worked out well! Big fan of your build
If you are still looking for an exhaust setup, I suggest looking into the Gernpipe. I have it on my car paired with a Berk muffler and the improvement in the midrange is amazing.. I am planning on a full write up once I finally get a chance to tune it.

Congratulations on finally getting your ITB set up and also putting it all together yourself. I'm sure that has to feel great after being completed. Awesome job on the detailed write up with the whole experience, I really like that you took the time to go into detail on everything that was involved. Car looks amazing and sounds unbelievable now, great job once again.
There was a point during the install when I had the bumper off and the OEM air box out, and I was using the structural beam in the engine bay to kneel on so I could get to what I needed to easier. My buddy whose shop I was at came out and just kind of looked at me shocked. He mentioned that doing that was so far out of the realm from what he expected from me. I think doing the install helped me to relax and be much more comfortable with the car which is probably a good thing.

Haha. Thanks guys!
I have some more things in the works that should bring everything together but these custom projects are taking forever.
