Turns out a hanger broke off and took a piece of the exhaust with it. Easy fix, was in and out in no time at all. Thanks to Andy's Muffler Service, super nice dude.
Car is currently at the dealership for that P2015 code, along with checking out those super loud fans and getting an alignment. Very much looking forward to having the car back running perfectly.
Car is back feeling as solid as ever! After the new manifold, a valve cleaning and an oil change it feels better than it did day 1. Currently waiting for new spark plugs and coil packs in the mail.
Installed the NGK plugs and R8 coil packs. Car sensuously feels brand new. I'm so happy.
The 034 Motorsports boost tap installed pretty cleanly. It seems like the hose it's attached to is pulling it sideways a bit, but the boost gauge seems to read accurately.
Installed the LED fog lights from Deautokey and they’re great. Stupid bright. I forgot to take a side shot, but driving down the middle of the street, the light hits the houses on both sides.
Installed the IE shifter bracket and bushings (thanks for the help, Geryon). After driving around with them for a while I noticed the shifts felt more solid. It didn’t eliminate all the play from the knob while it’s in gear, but going into gear felt a lot more firm. Overall it’s a nice improvement as long as I don’t think too much about how much it cost.
