Trust me. There was plenty of foul language and thrown tools during the install. Not to mention busted knuckles. But a good pair of mechanic gloves save a lot of them.

I'm glad that you are enjoying the car. I miss it terribly but I am very happy that I can follow your progress.

Have you beat her yet? She likes it rough.

I got on it a little, the AFR's got a little rich (10.5) yesterday when I got on it. Im thinking it done it because of how hot it was. Next time I get a chance to drive it I will take it out in the morning and see if they hug 11.3 like they were before.

My VR4 was also a complete PITA so much so that I will probably never work on this alone. I just do not have the time, if something goes wrong I will take it to a shop. With my limited free time it would take months to repair.

Heck I took the center console out of my SRT-4 months ago to replace shifter bushings and still have not put it back in lol

I don't remember ever seeing the AFR get to 10.5. Are you reading that from the gauge on the pillar?

Yep, and I have no idea what could of got it down in the 10's either. Maybe a boost leak? But it seems to be holding right at 7 PSI and I think I would hear anything major enough to drop it down that low.

Edit: The Vac side is also fine.
