Wet?sday

Supposed to rain, but it keeps retreating later into the day.

On another note, I'm really liking the below, and toying with the idea of making something similar but with a boost referenced valve or perhaps even an external wastegate.

Thoughts?




A buddy with an Evo9 had a boost referenced one like this and I was really impressed with low throttle stock quietness and then wot unleashing the fury

I suspect everything will be moist tomorrow morning when we get up.

Weren't you on about using a wastegate a couple years ago? Something about butterfly valves being ****?

I actually used/tried an apexi ecv on my 13 wrx hatch. With a grimmspeed catless dp and cobb exhaust it definitely toned it down quite a bit when closed. I kinda got tired of having to manually open/close it though, just not something you wanna do when you're driving. So looking for something similar, except to open/close automatically and not be electric because those burn out fast.

I do miss it. I look back on it with the fondness of an old friend with whom I have parted ways, but often wonder how they are doing.

Just installed my fuse box mount onto my strut bar. Going to run the wires tomorrow after work.

I too have always enjoyed cosmology, but I didn't enjoy the math I'd need to be able go anywhere with it.

Oh everyone fears the math, but it is merely a tool. Most physics papers, astrophysics anyway, don't have much math in them.

Don't give up building a house because you don't understand a hammer.

Going to Kings game tonight so won't have time to finish up the wiring. Plus I don't have a garage to use and even if I had a garage to use, I'm not sure if my car can clear most home garages

I understand that, but most of the time to get a degree in a field where you can study cosmology requires some fairly advanced math. Correct?
