Front end is pretty much done for now. Winter is coming and I can't afford the shop anymore, so the splitter has to wait. The car is probably 4 or 5 hours from driving again.

. Here I am, fabbing more **** on brand new ****. Wut. The. ****.
to all- switching from a 2560 to an EFR is a complete redo. None, none none, none noooone of your other parts wI'll be interchangeable. Treat it as if it were a brand new build.

Only had a few minutes on Saturday to go for a test drive. Went about 2 miles, made about 15 lbs boost faster I could keep track. 3rd gear on 205's is a joke. You can pretty easily stay in a constant state of wheel-spin. No leaks of any sort, so that was nice.
Ill get some logs in the next week.

RAD UPDATE: Started the car this morning before work, then went inside to take a morning dump. came out to 2 gallons of coolant on the ground and a car unhappily idling on 2 cylinders. Tightened the hose that blew off, drove to work. On two cylinders. Nice.
This sport is bumming me out.
