Depsy.. you still havent cleaned your engine bay? .. thanks for the pictures..
where does your bov T into? is that the 3rd/4th pic?
and your WG (side plug) goes to the nipple on the turbo...
so whats the T at the fan temp sensor for.. (assuming 1 goes to the WG, wheres the other side go to?)

im waiting on a new frount engine mount(should arrive tomorrow if not thursday), and for the guys at EPM to finish up. i have a really good teaser picture.. i think everything looks awsome. cant wait for it to be back..
its been so long i dont even remember what my car sounds or feels like..
its been 4 weeks and 2 days since i drove my car... yes ive been counting..
i keep watching and listening my exhaust clip to keep it fresh in my mind.. i need to stop hitting fuel cut.. lol 10 times daily for the past 7 years!

You shouldn't hit fuel cut once I'm done ... =) and you could have just asked me about the vacuum lines.
And, FWIW, I know a lot of people use the FPR vacuum line to tap in to (even Mitsubishi), but I advise against it for a boosted car. If you lose pressure on that line with a rising rate FPR, your fuel pressure will instantly drop several psi (depending on the rate ratio of the FPR), fuel will decrease and he mix will go lean. This can happen with no modification to the line, but tapping in just gives it more places to leak.
I say this because it happened to me ... luckily I was watching the boost gauge (which is tee'd to the FPR) and saw it 0 out and let off. My knock light was going crazy too. I wasn't logging to see exactly how much knock, but timing was definitely pulled hard as I felt it.
