Most multimeters are fused (should be in the back with the batteries) should be fine to check alternator....I wouldn't even worry about dealing with your old battery, you have a new one just put that one in....sparks are normal when dealing with battery voltage....

dam its freezing cold in the garage =,=
old battery tested 6Volts(scratch) will this battery bring back alive if i charge it with 2amps for really long time?
or should i just recycle this
i guess the keyless entry is really because of the battery level, i cant even unlock doors with remote today, gotta use key now
red top is at 12.47volts havnt install yet, cuz i am not gonna drive for another 2 weeks i guess, might swap it out the week after.

just a update before i go to sleep.
after 6hours 2amp charge to the old battery and listen to radio for 10mins, the voltage stablized near 10.4volts keyless entry back to normal.
weird thing is last time i use 6amp charge for roughly 3hours, didnt check the voltage, but the keyless entry just doesnt work very well =,=
btw last time i connected the ground wire to body, and this time i connected to the engine(the hook above exhaust manifold) am i doing the right thing?
might gonna charge it lil more on sunday and see if i can bring it back to 12volt +

ok, i was planning for a new arm pipe for the corksport FMIC so i can relocate MAF
but guess thats too much work
so i stay with recirculation setup for now maybe?
gonna grab a hks bov recirculation adapter (theres several sizes , if i pick the 19mm adapter, i can use 19mm silicone hose which is same size as bypass valve hose right?)
question is , if smaller recirculation adapter/hose a good thing to consider or not?
smaller adapter and hose would keep the bov open longer and making longer hisshhhhhhhhh sound right?(scratch) and maybe better for mainting pressure ?
(bigger recirculation passage would make the pressure drop/increase so suddenly? the gauge would show up like up and down up and down?)
so i buy a 19mm hks recirculation adapter and a meter of 19mm silicone hose, few small clamps maybe and then i can start installing FMIC?

if those are ebay knock offs i would make sure they actually fit properly before doing any work on them.
^ this... if that grill is an ebay knock off, there is a 99.8% chance it will fit awkwardly and not look right
btw the eye lid fits well, grille are really bad fit, looks like a short version of grille,
it actually fits without taking the original grille off
kind like i can use double tape to tape it on directly LOL
i am waiting on my tape, carbon fiber wrap and bunch little thingy ordered from Hongkong before i can start working on these 2 .(takes about 1.5-2weeks for the shipment to arrive)
