Slowest (and possibly dirtiest) FD in Florida is ready to go!
Thanks for the offer
Beautiful day in ATL today. Meeting up with RotaryPolo in a few to wash our cars. Bad tornadoes here last night. Car was garaged

Straight exhaust without an ECU is a recipe for a nice new streetport engine.

Already has a downpipe on it, it might be a solenoid that is either bad or needs to be adjusted. A boost controller will be going on soon and hopefully a PFC but first I want to solve this problem so I can make sure nothing else is wrong with the system before I start throwing new parts on it.

Got an oil change after 500 miles 20w-50 this time, and got my brake light to finally go off when the e-brake is disengaged. Getting things done little by little, won't be here to work on it the next week though, so it will be parked until I get back.
