you will most likely need a machine shop to drill through stainless. I know with my APS pipes, I had to take them to a machine shop. I know Chuck @ boostfactory/RS could do the work for you

Thanks, Aaron. That's not too far from me. Now to get the specs on that hole. What's the standard size for the sensors?
Well I finally pulled the trigger and went full HD! Picked this up about an hour ago at best buy. Samsung 40in LCD (Ln40a550) Paid $919 out the door with some price matching and some haggling. Who knew you could haggle with best buy employees!

yea, i think you will like the new TV! 
Anyone looking for a little 20" Dynex 20" 720P LCD TV? Good for a kitchen or somthing.
Only asking $200 OBO.
buy the bung and take everything to him if you can. He may have bungs, but I would recommend getting a SS one off ebay. The standard size is M18 x 1.5. In terms of how big to drill the hole, it will depend on the bung you buy. Some are very thick and require a slightly larger hold, some have a small fitting lip and those require a smaller hole. Best off getting the bung and drilling the hold to fit that. Again, I took the bung and pipes to a machine shop, they measured the bung, and programmed into their CNC machine a hole size 1/100th bigger and that was that.

While I am not a fan of LCD panels, that will be a huge improvement over the tube... congrats.

Maybe a dumb question but do you have the climate control on the auto or manual setting for the blower motor control? If it's on Auto I'm wondering if would be a temp sensor issue Also any issues with lights dimming or the engine sputtering when you slow down or come to a stop?
I had a similar issue a few years back with a Maxima. Turned out to be a bad alternator. It would work intermittently causing some of the systems to fluctuate (ex. lights, radio, and the climate control). When I would slow down or come to a stop the engine revs would drop way down and on occasion even kill the engine. Might not be the same situation but thought that would throw it out there.

Temp sensor
heater core
