So I went to happy Monday and drank a lot and talked about what to do with the car. Going into Happy Hour, I was pretty set on parting it out. I drank much more than anticipated and never came up with a decision. Tuesday, I made up my mind I'm sticking to it.

Lutz can't find the wiring diagram for the MAF sensors, so that's delaying them bridging the MAFs together. My exhaust build starts Monday. I'll look into the CSF radiator, but I'm not sure if there's room. Downpipe is where the OEM fans were and now the Flexalite fans are in front of the radiator...not sure if the extra 15mm of the CSF radiattor will fit :/

Also, I'm still looking into the VIS AMS hood, even though I don't prefer CF. I have a nice quality turbo blanket on the turbo and the downpipe/uppipe is fulling wrapped in DEI heatwrap.

Hopefully, my car will be ready for Cars and Coffee next Saturday. I haven't driven it in 22 days.

Glad to hear you're sticking with it. I hope all the issues are resolved soon so you can actually enjoy the car and finally beat me in the 1/4 mile

Those numbers in the upper diagram (67,68,77) are the corresponding pins on the ECU harness

What do you mean about bridging them? Are you going to try to copy the signal from one MAF into the ECU inputs for both banks? So only one of the MAFs will really be used?

Exactly. Since there is no way to equalize the MAF readings as is with the intake piping, we hope to have the ECU read the signal from one bank and have it replicate to the other signal. Thank you so much for the diagram! Repped

Sounds risky if I'm understanding it right.

I also found a similar diagram however it is not the correct one, nor is yours. The pins and colors do NOT correspond with what's on Ryan's car.

98, I will try to get an answer on the radiator fitment compared to stock. I know it bolts up exactly to stock points & connections, but not sure if it pushes front/back or both.

i say if you could just get your hands on one of the stillin manifolds. I bet that would make your life much easier. just find someone with a stillen setup and ask them if you can use there cerial number to order a new manifold because theres broke.

I've tried that. I contacted Stillen directly and had 3 other shops contact them. Stillen won't sell me one
