Car runs great!!
I just finished up with the TFS intake/T-trim upgrade and took it for a spin. I can't believe how much smoother it runs. All the little codes and glitches must have been either related to the intake, tb/plenum or one of the gaskets involved. I was getting occasional misses and the feeling of holding back at cruise before the mods.
No sputtering, no occasional miss nothing. It's running a little rich at idle, and wants to stall ocassionally when coming to stop. Nothing that a tune couldn't fix.
After a little bit of tweaking it's going to be a great running car. But I really need to change my exhaust. The 3" bullets dumped is getting old already. Way to loud and raspy/thrasy sound when combined with an X-pipe.
Overall I'm very happy so far with the mods and I'm looking forward to tuning april 3rd. Yippie it's back to it's smooth running self.

Is there something in the air lately? My car started having issues tonight. It's bogging and hesitating all over the place, and progressively got worse as the night went on. Don't think it's missing, since it's not throwing a CEL. I'm gonna check out the MAF and TPS tomorrow... Maybe I can find something. But yeah, funny that you said that, AZ.

I actually figured out what was wrong. I looked at the Methanol/water nozzles, and the threads were stripped, and so they were just barely hanging there. I think I might have half assed it when I did it last time. So I went and got a couple pipe fitting sleeves, drilled and tapped it, and modified it so that they werent hanging out
I think it was just a boost leak, seems to run alot better now. I guess that should show just how good I am actually DOING the work
