Worked on the car a little bit last night...
Well my car has been sitting at a friends shop for the winter.
Late last year I got pissed off at how tight/restricted access to the Greddy Wastegates were with their shitty design. So I decided to redesign the wastegate system. After the redesign was done and everything was test fitted I had everything ceramic coated at Impact coatings here in Edmonton (Thanks Bruce and others for the great service) and get everything re-installed.
Well the re-install worked perfect, no alignment issues like the stock greddy setup. Access to all bolts is now possible and quite easy in comparison to the old system.
I even had enough time to run Braided line to the blow off valve.
And then I did it. The biggest Mod of my life. A project for the record books.
A NEW OIL CAP!

No MAF is correct.
It is SOOOO much nicer than the MAF. I highly suggest the conversion.
No new pics of the car right now. Sorry, I just had my Iphone to snap those pics last night.

I have CEL because I don't run cats or stock Downstream O2 Sensors.
I strictly run 2 Widebands.
I will have to put the scan tool on it and see if I have any CEL codes related to Maf. But I don't think I do.

Wow that thing is tight!!! would love to see it sometime... gonna have to meet up wit you guys some time soon... I'm just waiting for my car to get out of the body shop as it was backed up into over the winter by a truck. Took out my front fender door and part of bumper all cosmetic damage. Supposed to be finaly done at the end of next week. Won't be anywhere near as crazy as you guys but that's ok. I have bassani exhaust on it and my black injen intakes waiting to be put on along with my Volks...
