Box of parts showed up in the last couple days. Did the coolant temperature switch tonight (for future reference car should sit for longer than 2 hours before servicing). Will do the cam sensor, dipstick tube, and spark plugs tomorrow night. Then next weekend front pads, rotors, and oil change.

I did something for it last night, and in return it did something for me, forgot to turn down the boost controller from when the turbo let out a few months back, forgot i kept crankin it up trying to get to 20 psi, but the turb was dying and wouldnt do it, installed the new turbo and got it all up and running last night at 2am, took it for a hot lap around the block, and hit 40.8 PSI, FUCK! it payed me back by stickin in there, taking it like a pro, not breaking, all while giving me the ride of my life! Thanks rabbit, glad to have ya back! sincerely, your creator :)

Car kept stalling on the way home when the motor would get hot, assumed crank sensor since it was already on its way out. Was forced into doing the crank sensor tonight headlamp and lantern style in the driveway. The amount of nasty crap caked on that part of the motor makes me want to get a tetanus shot in the morning.
