They sell it at every auto parts store, but you will need to have the 1200 stuff removed first.

Update. I removed the A/C and the PS this weekend. All I have left is drill the flange in the turbo for the 10mm studs. I have a question about this, do I use a 10mm or 11mm drill bit?? Also what block-off plate do I use to block the EGR??

Aside from that all i have left is, bolt **** up, drill the pan, and take the car to the exhaust shop to have DP made.

So it looks like I have a bit of a problem. Im leaking oil. I checked the car today and I had a bit less than a quart of oil. Also smoke is coming off the hood after vigoruos driving, or any driving at all.

I was under the car this weekend taking the A/C and PS off and I didnt notice anything but the regular grease, and oil that settles on the engine. Any advice??

Also, I can not get MS to adjust afrs for crusing. I sit at 14.7 throughout the entire board, despite of changes. Along with that I have very noisy afr signals in my datalogs, what am I doing wrong??

Pictures to come later, they're in my laptop.

Did you replace the oil pump bolt with a shorter one after removing the AC?

Just need to open the holes a little bit, find a bit slightly larger than the studs.

Why didn't you have Wayne make you a dp?

Front mounting hole from the a/c compressor bracket needs to be plugged. Which WB do you have? Where is it grounded?

I left the A/C bracket on the car. I didnt take "that" bolt out.

The closet bit I found was 13/32, I think, is about 10.26mm. I think that should do

He didnt feel confortable doing it

Towards the end of may will be good. I have a trip the 14-17, that way you guys can also make time.

I didnt take the bracket out. My WB is a PLX300, and is grounded under the heater hose, there was a ground right by the firewall.
