sick looking and clean! The bumper works prefectly. I suspect you'll be adding grills to that?

i dont know how people are so naive sometimes, if it sounds too easy, or too good to be true its not real, or everyone would have a turbo 8 by now

bad news, wrong O2 sensor. now i have to wait for a new one.

FYI, do not try and use a Bosch factory replacement O2 sensor. the cable is not long enough and it wont work with extended wires either.

Yeah - sometimes trying to work with what you got can screw you... but at least we tried.

The Bosch sensor is fine I'd just make sure that you are indeed receiving the "FRONT" or UPSTREAM 02 Sensor.

completely drained? my yellow top drained completely once (nothing electrical worked), I threw a charger on it and it took forever to get back to normal. The charger kept clicking on and off charging at 15 amps because it was so drained.

Goodluck Nuke! So i guess it would take a few days to charge at 2A. Mine charged from 15A and and very slowly lowered to 2A after it was getting some juice back.

yeah, i put it back on the charger at 6A this time. that's as high as mine will go. i just thought the slow charge would be better to leave overnight so i wouldn't overcharge, but it needs a lot more juice.
