Reading from the post above, and looking at the manuals off of foxed, the pressure adaptor goes on red correct? A little light headed with a headache from all the gas fumes after installing the DW200...

Well, I have barely put any miles on the car this summer, I now have 27,864 miles on it. Have been mostly riding around the jet skis and boat. The new laws in Illinois are a bit annoying on driving, and I am thinking about just going back to stock on the car.

She is driving good, it doesn't hiccup as bad with the adjustment in the tune. I just can't get on it anymore as often since I am finding myself extremely busy.

Additionally, seems like the employment rate for county and state troopers has increased and doubled...

Took her out today, she sure loves the cooler weather and not one single hiccup. I feel like I should let someone else enjoy her, but then I think of all the work and I can't bare to even think about selling it.

Vette

Well decided I want more horsepower in an easier way. Looking for a vette and putting the 8 back to stock. Parts coming soon.

Finally got the turbo off, such a PITA... Knuckles have some cuts now, but on a good note, a lift makes a world of difference. Just neck pain and shoulder pain from looking and keeping your hands raised up. It still amazes me how tight the turbo fits in there.
