    Tegiwa/Gruppe M rain water question

    i think the one exception to this drain be adequate is if you blast through a monumental puddle or another car does sending gallons of water over your bonnet. Never heard of it happening though but worth being cautious around big puddles/lakes in the road :)

    Retainers

    i'd recommend using the Toda retainers as the design of the retainer can affect the bind-height so the retainers form TODA should be used ideally. Blueprint retainers are great quality but use the toda's in this instance.

    Dyno Charts!!

    I know most of the young enthusiasts are dead-set on bhp but theres so many variables you just cant compare one car to another. you could have DD brand dyno in runmode XYZ for the type of car (fwd for example non turbo) that adds a set percentage (estimated losses) against that run mode... but...

    Dyno Charts!!

    The scaling on the last two are force scaled for a couple of reasons... so that everyone can see... 1. hp/torque intersect at 5252rpm and 2. it makes them easier to read. During tuning i prefer to use the other data screens (see first graph) since the auto-scaling emphasises the graphs to aid...

    Re-Pin'ing Injector Clips

    no as the RC injector clips are fed in from the front! (if theyre the black pigtail plugs unterminated) if your really set on not cutting the OEM harness, then you could remove the outer sheath between the stock injector plugs and the harness, then shorten the rc pigtails and use an insulation...
