Meth is in, running it without water. Everything seems soo much smoother with the added octane.

No problems with the fog lights, just a bumper beam issue

It says to either remove it completely, or cut off some of the sides and add a spacer to distance it from the FMIC

I am using their BOV, its a hybrid so it can used to vent to atmosphere or recirculate, or a mix of both. I'm not releasing 30lbs of boost so I went total recirculation. It sounds good without being obnoxious.

I have a couple photos but they are in my phone and suck. My friend had a really good camera, ill have him shoot the engine bay.

I know why Cobb said that, lol the pro tuner I used worked with Cobb to get my AccessPort to work, they tried for 4 days before they decided to go with just an ecu flash. I asked about a stand alone and the response I got was, "its always better to run a stand alone because more things can be modified during the tune versus a flash or APort. However, its not necessary to have one." And my car is proof of that statement.
