That's alot of work! Looks like you madew good progress though! One question though. When you took the turbo and mani off; rather than take the o2 housing off the turbine housing, why didn't you just unbolt it from the downpipe? It's way easier to do it that way and just unplug the o2 sensor.

Yeah so I got the car running now, again. And she finally has over 500 under her belt so it should be broken in.

But now Im having problems with idle. I did the FIAV block off, which I know can screw with it, but I cant let it idle at anything less than 1500, and I have to do that by manually adjusting the throttle cable, the BISS does nothing anymore, and once it warms up it stays at a constant 2000, If I try to let it drop to 800 it will sit and chug, and misfire and all sorts of nasty crap. I think I might still have a vac leak but I cant find it. I havent done a compression test yet either. But just off hand anyone got any ideas.

Also, I did the BS elim, and she's pretty vibey at 3k, is that normalish?
