Houston Astros FTW!
After battling issues with the car since the night I took delivery, I have faced everything under the sun. You guys may remember I was literally going to sell my car cause of the stress.

Well the day is here. After Literally 6 blower pulls and installs trying to troubleshoot issues, I nipped it in the bud.

An undiagnosed failed bypass valve was causing ridiculously high charge air temps. After the part swap, the car literally run 40* cooler now, not to mention I don’t have a heat soaked blower so subsequently my coolant temps are also down 15*.

Car was running 165-170 on the highway. Now it runs 126-138 and recovers pretty quick too!

First thing I noticed was how quiet the blower is at idle now. Time to enjoy her and fix little odd things before presenting at AutoRama.

Cheers

Wow, your car is looking amazing! The stance is great as well as the wheels. Can you post a few more photos?
