Well on my way home the truck decided to have a flat. It's raining so hard you could barely see anything around you. Luckily an employee I work with lives near me and was right behind me, not about to change the tire out in the pouring rain. Now I have no vehicles to drive, couldn't get any better than this! Well... maybe. This package definitely helps

I assume you've tried this? I'd love to see that lol
Hopefully I can find a relay at work, I have a box full of working relays but not sure if one will work out.

The solenoid on my relay is totally shot, not really sure what caused it besides being 13 years old. Parts stores didn't carry them so hopefully I can find one at work.
I'm ready to play with the new ecu

Noone in town has one, would be monday til I could get one. Luckily the smallest parts shop in town had one at the warehouse, picking it up after work to get back on the road

Stared the day off good. Had a long night of watching midget wrestling, they were pretty entertaining!
Got my short shift installed which is 10x better than my old shifter. I think the bushing were just wore out in my old setup. So after quickly getting the shifter done I figured I would install the new ms3!
After 5 hours of screwing with wiring, routing my wideband and getting everything setup to run the ms3, it seems my wideband is shot. I get (8.) on my gauge which people say the whole setup is fried. If I were to get E8 (error 8) then the sensor would be bad, but this reads 8. with and without the sensor installed.
After wasting my time I was screw it, i'm selling my car. Pissed off at it, hating life with no boost, but i've calmed down and decided to run ms3 with the narrowband. This car is slowly getting on my nerves, after I washed it I just fell in love again lol what a love/hate relationship we have <3

I have the mtx-l, not sure how much different it is than the lc1.
I'm guessing I just sourced a bad 12v and ground. I hooked the wideband up to a 12v battery and recalibrated it just now, works like a champ.
I'll fiddle around with it more this week to get it installed, i'v been playing around with my new Ruger MKIII all weekend.

Should I put together a cheap turbo setup? By cheap I mean find a used FM manifold/dp, custom exhaust, small t28ish turbo, just something to toy with.
The original plan was to go EFR with an ARTech full exhaust setup. Spending over $4,000 isn't in my budget anymore since school starts in October, but I would really love a turbo setup while I am in school. My school offers free dyno tuning/pulls for students, so on my off time I can play as long as I want (as long as their is supervision in the shop)
Suggestions? All I lack is a turbo, manifold, downpipe and exhaust to complete my turbo setup. I have everything else.
Wait for EFR or go for instaspool cheapo trubo??? Decisions decisions
