X a billion.
If I could go back in time I probably would leave mine stock. Although I do love my 505 IM.

It should take an afternoon if you have it all planed out. I'm not sure what 2 sensors you are talking about, I know there's the intake temp sensor that's in front of the maf, you can drill a hole in the pipe or just put in a zip lock bag and keep it off to the side. You'll have a vac line go from the bov to the intake mani or vac block if you chose to get one.
Until you have supporting mods you shouldn't touch the boost unless you want to join the zoom-zoom-boom club

You got it, he's talking about the IAT and the MAF.
Be honest with yourself... no, you wouldn't. I traded up the MSP on a car making over 3x the power (should be plenty right!), telling myself (and in one of my larger mistakes, my fiance) that I'd do intake, exhaust, a shifter, a splitter, and maybe a couple other things, nothing major, and be done.
Fast forward 7 months:
Intake, and exhaust... check.. on the car when bought.
Splitter.... check
headers
catch can
sway bars
2.5 sets of wheels/tires (anyone who knows me knows this is my mandatory minimum)
coilovers... all check.. plus some stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting.
intake mani
catless mids
cutouts... in the plans.
Plus I picked up a $2300 winter beater to keep it all nice.
Hmm... guess I need a shifter too.
Point being... enough is never enough.
I'm going to have to fight myself come tax time not to "blow" it all... if you know what I'm saying.

My Driver's front door lock was giving me trouble today. A couple times it wouldn't unlock but then it would work fine. I don't want to buy a new actuator but I know that has to be the problem. Oh well I guess I will wait until it's completely broken.

There's a guy selling door lock actuators right now in the fs thread. I paid 15$ for mine.

Yea it's as easy as swapping the motor. Pull the old one out, put the new one in.
I tried to pull off the stock pulley once and it bent the bolt on the puller so I took it back to the parts store and they didn't have another at the time so I just reinstalled the pump

Changed the oil and finally got around to swapping the front motor mount for the SLS Performance front motor mount
only took about an hour total for everything, including having no idea how to hold the back of the bolt while unscrewing the nut.
Out with the old..
Very nice custom "two piece" design.
In with the new
