What have you done to your P5 today?

[Breeegz]

Well I have a clink-ity clink.clink.clickclickclickclickclickclickclick.... it started making the noise, was constant for a few minutes then it went away. I haven't drove my car since then (two days) but I started it up a couple times to check. I could get the starting clinks once but the other time it sounded clean. The noise sounds like it's coming from right in front of the passenger air bag under the hood while I'm sitting in the driver seat. Check engine light doesn't turn on.

I went and bought a stethascope and I can't get the noise to come back... false alarm?

stupid noise, I plan on removing the intake manifold just to make sure though.

Short Shifter

I picked up a B&M replica on ebay and installed it for less than $50 (three years ago)

Yea I would definitely say shifter is the next thing you should do. It's one of the modifications you will enjoy the most and at the same time no one else will. It's great.

[seldomseenmp5]

i agree... Ive got the low beams and high beams in mine... I wanna do a HID conversion whenever I get the dough...

I need to. This upgraded turbo is really different - it even sounds different (either that or this was a sign the turbo had problems before the "refresh"). I also put the ATP wastegate actuator in there and my boost level actually went down! I guess my old one really was going, but now I am at a steady 7 psi at WOT. Definitely pulls a little harder but nothing mind-blowing. We are trying to plan a big dyno day for sometime in Oct. Hopefully by then I will have the AFC in and in good working order. The stock fuel system is definitely having to work a little harder - the lowest AFR's I saw at WOT were 10.2:1 as opposed to the usual 10:1 or lower. I need to get that fuel pump in there... I'd like to see 200+ whp with the current setup...

...If I get really ambitious I'll up the boost to 10 psi, drop in my 440 cc injectors and tune the AFC... (nana)

I would get use to driving it lowered for a while before adding the lip though... you dont want to spend all that money and then rip it off by not knowing what you can and cant do with the car that low.
