thank you my brother from another mother

4wheel slide: no it wasn't me at moroso ( i had no lights lol) I was driving home yest like at 6pm tried turning the lights on and the car almost died so I got lucky driving home and not getting a ticket.

I'm going to home depot today to find longer zip ties and check that the maf is plugged in correct. I will let you all know it it works just by removing the ballast and placing it somewhere else.


thank you guys i really appreciate it

Yes, little sis..... while you are at home depot, get a nice bag or container of assorted zip ties....they are your friend.... after you are done zip-tying your ballasts and all that, use your left over zip-ties and zip tie ALL of your vaccum lines as well.....thats what I did on mine and nothing has ever popped off and my car holds boost like a champ.

I Didnt upgrade the fuse and i im fine with my 8000 k. I would Move the ballast away from the MAF as suggested above. I was lucky enough to get brackets with the kit to mount the ballast else where. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
