Cute kid.

2m?
Thanks! Its an Icom 2730a so... 2m/70cm with the MARS mod. Its an all around radio.

Looks like he is saying - Let's go kick some ass.
When he does say it, he will be screaming it. This kid has a lot of energy. Its punishment for the kid I was.

If you don't get that Dodge emblem off your Ranger parts will start falling off.
I'd leave it.....that way he can take it to a Fiat Dealer for work/repair/warranty.....

Installed a GoFast VTA Blow Off Valve I got from another member. Haven't done any other engine mod's but the price was too good to pass up.
If you look verrrrrry closely you can just see the additional HP just oozing from the installed mod !!!
Strange thing tho, it seems to work. I have always experienced a bit of "lag" when making a sharp right turn....just a momentary power drop.... from a stopped position....like slowly turning from a stop sign or red light while applying gas. Once thru turn Truck always came right back.
Now, while making the same turn, no lag....power stright thru the turn....
Yea !!!
(Also makes a neat "woooooshing" sound)

Allegedly, has something to do with the components being set up to allow the diverter to open and close partially instead of being just 'open / shut' like stock.

I've noted some difference here myself. Wouldn't call it a HP gain but it doesn't seem to just jettison all the boost when you let off the throttle then whomp it again, which is essentially the situation we're talking about.

If you partially let off then jump back on the throttle, ideally it should only divert part of the boost that you let off, not all of it, allegedly, GoFast parts allows for that after upgrading by modifying the stock diverter slightly.

... allegedly.

But any uneducated vehicle owner will think that Soupie is manufactured by a Fiat based company. May even, instead of a "Soup Red" start calling it "Spaghetti Sauce Red" !!!

Now that's a classy looking one.

Not only is what it is cool, but that blackout lettering and tight placement make it look very custom (and badass!). =)

LOL, if I tried pulling off badass, it would turn out like this:

I've noticed less jerking and hesitation - not a lot, and maybe psychological, but it seems a tiny bit smoother in some circumstances (like letting off the gas and stomping on it right after).

Mine's not the "look at me hissing, do I have a flat" version but I think it affects the same thing.
