Bringing this back from the dead.

After 2 years. the minivan is ALIVE!

Merged the 1G DSM harness with the Expo harness. and the car now runs.

Now I have to find a place for the stock SMIC off a 1G DSM. Anyone have good suggestions for cheap piping and good routing options that has done a Summit/Expo swap?

The expo/summit sucks for trying to mount and get airflow to a smic as I found out.   I was able to hack it into the stock 1g dsm location with stock 1g piping..... but I made some quick ducting to pick up air from underneath and blow on he smic a bit and it worked and car ran 13.9 on stock and 15 psi with some knock up top..  The smic would heatsoak like a bitch when driving it hard for any length of time (as the expo/summit does not have holes in the subframe/ rad support in that area like a dsm has..  I concluded it would have been easier to pay a couple hundred bucks and do a medium sized fmic and piping for engine longevity purposes when pushing the engine hard.
