well... weeks later... upper & lower tensioners, chains, cam bridge, timing covers, PCV, DV+, brand new turbo & oil lines, boost tubes, intercooler cleaning, 60k & 80k services, rear brakes, and carbon cleaning are all done.. plus a bunch of smaller stuff
Sourced a stock downpipe & CAT and just need to order some new o2 sensors to detune this thing and I think that'll about tap me out on this grocery getter for awhile. Right now as a stg2+, 2 of the 3 o2's were disabled (and subsequently snipped off at the sensor end too close to repair... thanks PO) and next year she goes to a test-only Cali smog...
