Have the DG Racepipe on and the EGR cooler unhooked (both exhaust and coolant). Still have to yank the sucker out though. I'll post up some more pics when I get it out to show what all came out. I had the DG pipe in the other night but scratched the paint when I put it in :banghead: :banghead: . So I took it off, took the paint off, scuffed it up a little better, repainted it, and got it back on.

(yeah I know, the engine compartments a little dirty)

About 10,000 miles since I cleaned out the intake and no sign of it starting to clog. Now there will be NO chance of it starting. :mrgreen:

Not my dub but, a guy pulled in to my driveway (to deliver a hard drive) and I ended up looking over his car and selling him a used set of plug wires and he is coming back for a chip :) I also topped off his coolant and pointed out some things to watch and fix but, most importantly I directed him to this site.
Also put in my new front o2 sensor. no more CEL :)

Finally got my manual boost controller hooked up. Didn't take much tweaking and I cut my boost spikes down from 22psi to 18psi. :D Should help the turbo last a little longer! :thumbsup:

Here's a short video I made with my last dyno data: My Video
You can see what I'm talking about as far as boost spikes.

This past week I needed to refinish my headlight lenses and while I was at it I decided to Joey Mod them too for something a little different I also painted my hi beam cups yellow while at it. I love how simple things can really change the look of a car!

This is how they turned out. I'll do a small write up of the steps I took when I get some more time! :thumbsup:

Yup, had to pull alot of crap off to be able to pull the headlight assemblies!
