First top mount single turbo 370Z

Looks like I was on to something asking you how the voltages checked out. Thats all that was adding up in my head. Glad it turned out better then our texts started! I will get in touch with you again tomorrow. By the way were those wires even soldered?

I edited my rant... I forgot they took 2hrs of labor off my bill when they installed my Flexalite fans.

Yeah, I kept putting that thought into the back of my head BECAUSE LUTZ ASSURED ME THE MAF WIRING WOULD BE FINE. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Due to the bad design of their intake piping, the MAFs were reading different voltages. Instead of redoing the intake piping like how it is now and the way that I suggested, they said it would be better to bridge the MAFs. They did...and the car never ran better. It may have helped to get it retuned, but why would I pay to get it retuned if I wasn't sure the bridging of the MAFs would fix the issue?

So I had the piping redone the CORRECT way and when I called Lutz to ask how to unbridge the MAFs, they said just to cut the bridge they had wired....so I did cut it and that's why the car was in limp mode because 2 wires weren't even connected into the MAF sensor.

Ya I have a buddy who builds turbo kits, and he was looking at ideas for single turbo build on my car. This would b down the road but I will def be using your build thread for tips on what to do and what not to do !

Bridging the mafs was a huge hack-- that was known since day one. Same with the unequal length piping.
Sorry to hear you had to go through this, but at least this shop is getting some accurate publicity for once.

Hey Ryan, its been the biggest headache for you im sure, but seems you are in better hands now and hopefully you get this thing running soon. Just remember! once its up and running, dont touch the dang thing and enjoy it for a while!

I don't even want to. Having been down that road before, I feel for you. I'm pissed at the shop for your sake--it's not your job to know when they're being idiots.

I just drove my car to work, since I went home for lunch. No CEL! No limp mode! No 10.0 AFR under partial throttle. I'm happy

Then what do I do with the CSF radiator in my trunk or the Stance coilovers that are sitting in my garage? Haha
