    List of things I need.

    -Fuel pressure regulator adapter for a M50.

    -PLX Devices power plug for the wideband.

    -Bigger I.D. vacuum line for my wastegate and the fittings to go with it.

    The vacuum line should raise the boost up but I don't want to do that until I get my wideband working (again). Then I can dial it in with the FPR.

    I'm also going to have Kummrow fix my oil leak. Messed my arm up and wrenching probably shouldn't be happening.

          Nice, I like Alpine stuff, my truck has an Alpine CD player from 1995 that still works great.

              Your valve cover is powder coated right?  Is the underside coated as well?  I am getting mine done, and plan on leaving the studs and little screws in and just getting new ones afterwards so that they will keep the coating out of the threads.  Just curious how you did it.

                I ordered it from Renewed Finishes in Cali. Not sure what he did with bolts. The underside is bare metal.

                        Never mind - found it above (I missed why you took the car someplace).

                        Hopefully it's back soon!

                              Great! I haven't really gotten into the rpms yet. Letting the gasket sealant set. The vanos was two teeth off I guess so I'm excited to see how that affect the output.

                                  I'll give you a ride! My only request is that you're on cop watch like an eagle.

                                  The car is running great! No leaks except for a drop of oil on my cardboard by the power steering pump area. I'll keep an eye on that.

                                  Installed this radio. Bluetooth is working with my Samsung!!! Today was a good day!

                                    Installed new rear shocks. These were shot!

                                    While I was down there I noticed my sway bar bushing slid out of the mount so I reinstalled that. I'll keep an eye on it.

                                    After I was enjoying my new radio I think I blew my brand-new alpine R12. I might need a new amp. Oh the joys of ownership.

                                        Also. What are you replacing then with?

                                        Edit: nvm. I think I see a Billie sports box?

                                          Billies are correct! 

                                          I barely turn up the sub via the receiver controls and this is the third time it has blown.  I smell electrical hotness and h3gon3.  Maybe I need a more powerful sub.  I have a 500watt alpine now.
