Nothing like a cotton towel for a nice ESD safe electronics workbench haha, good thing ECU's are robust!

Congrats, it's looking good, I'm planning on taking my car for a rip this week. I envy how much space that intake gives you. I have NO ROOM to do ANYTHING in my engine bay.

Oh yea, and that oil cooler looks exactly like the one I have, probably the same (or similar) kit.

it makes a huge difference thats for sure.

my MMP ported out manifold is up for grabs. made a HUGE difference on my stock VR just due to flowing a ton better in the top end. Would make an even bigger difference on a forced induction car.

I'd like to get ~$350 for it. It's already polished up too.

If anything they are more likely to sustain ESD damage due to the memory and processors.
Good idea using the pins to get it out, I hope you made sure you didn't bend any of the socket pins though.

thanks D.

you need my manifold. We can install it when we do your 4" MAF. Then your car might keep up with mine

Its going to be a little sad to see you finish as I have enjoyed following the build!

Re: Screw weight saving....just add more HP (Project Turbo Smurf)

Seriously....buy my intake. I wager it adds 15-20whp to your car. You remember how freak my stock one was...that was all that was done to it. It pulls so much harder in the top end because it doesn't get the air starvation due to the crappy stock airflow.

If you don't believe me ask Brian. It's more than worth it. Stock VR's flow like poo. It's what holds them back
