idle VIDEO!!

So today i went down to my tuners house and we did a lot of stuff on the street to get it somewhat dialed in. Let me tell you this, this thing is REALLY easy to tune. Once we scaled down the Maf since its a blow thru its almost as easy as tuning an eaton from what he was saying. Every change we made it responded perfect. I have NO, i repeat NO idle issues, or stalling issues when you let off the gas like with a re circulating bov. I didn't have to trick the maf either. There are however a couple things that i need to change to get the IATs a little lower. I need to move the filter out of the hot spot that its in and im going to get me one of those turbo blankets that VS racing sells to keep the heat from soaking the charge pipe so quickly. And i think im going to powdercoat all the stuff in the engine bay too. im going to figure out how to get the filter out side the engine bay somehow. Well here is a short video of it idling in my driveway. It still need some more lovin on the road and possibly the dyno. But none the less im really pleased!
EDIT: oh yeah, thats my new Sniper wideband, I LOVE IT!!! its temporary installed this way but when i get around to making a new gauge pod for it, it will look killer.

I also like your project.....I don't have a gen2 nor a turbo, But anything thats well planned, is good. It only take just a bit more effort to make every thing work, and look good. Your set up looks OEM, and thats what I like.
