Default And so it begins....UPDATED POST #31

Well after a very eventful drive home this morning where my throttle decided to randomly get stuck wide open causing my car to accelerate to 90mph on the interstate while I was trying to shut it down and reving to over 7k rpm, I fixed it was able to make it home to take some pics. I'm only waiting on my UDP to arrive, which should be monday, and the work starts!!!!

Now you may all feel free to get jealous and drool.

It comes with everything you need. It adds an additional O2 sensor, so you have to have the bung welded in to your exhaust before the cats, if you have them. It includes the bung. then it's just a matter of running the wires and connecting the gauge to power and illumination. There are also extra wires to run to a datalogger.
