    Atta-boy. Get you a standalone in the future and we'll find a way to put your brother's turbo on your car.

    the cams were 500 shipped, its just a re-grind, they arent new cams.
    they are supposedly better than the cobb spicys as far as hp goes, at a fraction of the price, so a shot I will give them.

    I am looking into doing a d-tec as I hear the piggyback is 90% standalone. can you verify this jason?


    im pretty pumped about the build, I need to get the body of the old legacy up to par if you will, shes showing her age, 15 mn winters and you know there will be some rust.

    pffft. body what? :laugh:





    You know how I feel aboutthe piggyback situation with the Tleg ECU. You'll never be able to toutch your timing unless you spend big dough on an MSD setup. Even then, you can only retard the timing.


    Link G3 including 2.5 internal MAP sensor and loom for $900.:biggrin:

    ok, thats alot better than the 2200 that innovative tuning quoted me for thier s/a

    im not too worried about engine management at this point, I just want to get the car up and running before summer and work all the bugs out, then save for the ecu.

    and before I even think about getting an ecu I need a trans. hey dannnnnn I may need your brain and hands for a hydraulic clutch setup.... or maybe Ill just go to upull and snag a trans for 91.00 and give it the coctail and see how long it lasts. on the other hand, I dont want to be like fuji and replace the trans every other oil change.....

    I have some thinking to do....

    Keep in mind its a Link G3, not a Link Plus G3. Either way, you're better off than with a piggyback.

    if you go link, spend the extra $90 and get the 5 bar. If your already spending $900, why not another $100, that was my theory.

    I'm subscribing. I'm gonna start my T-Leg build once I get a tranny in.

    I'm thinking 16g turbo, some form of E/M, etc.

    I'll probably go link just from this quote on the site "Motor-sport proven anti-lag, launch and flat shifting". :biggrin:

    Yes! The Tleg mafia is in need of more members. Jeremy, Derek and I are pretty outnumbered here.
