We thought it might be fuel pump (still could be) but the DO guys pulled the fuel line while I was on the phone with Allstate, and fuel did squirt out. It still could be an issue though, especially since I had just fueled up (I wonder if the filter caught something).
I'm not sure about Shane's though.

I'm planning on hitting up Shane's after my show, although I might not quite fit in with the whole theme going on. I'll snag someone's goggles and look like an idiot or something. Haha.
And halfnhalf83, you gotta not be afraid to ask for a hand. You didn't did you, or am I putting my foot in my mouth? Ha. Shoot, I've never been under some guys car on the side of the freeway till this darn evom thing or doing the drive either. But hopefully ...IF... my time comes, someone will be there to lend a hand too.
Wait...edit.... John was going to put on my BOV but I didn't have the recirc. So, yeah, it does go around.

I called you out, Ryon! At the very end of the first post! 
I believe I offered to help at one point, halfnhalf but it sounded like you and your buddies had enough hands. I suppose after day 1 the excess hands started disappearing!

Angie deserves the sticker. My thoughts: "Official EvoM curbside pickup"
I'll let Shane fill in the details, but it sounds like Jordon gets props too!
An update to my situation - there was a bit of a communication mixup as I was waiting for Aaron to call when he was leaving Aberdeen. It turns out he already got to Auburn and diagnosed the problem. The MAP sensor has gone South; possibly something leaking on it. He is going to ship one up from ER sometime this week and I'll get down there to hopefully get the issue fixed.
Thanks to Aaron and also thanks again to Bob at the Drift Office, once again! I felt horrible that I didn't make it down but I was waiting for the phone to ring as I ran errands!

I feel bad for you Danny boy, sounds like its just one thing after another. That sucks, hopefully this is the last one, at least for this year... 
Shane blew a coupler off, unfortunately it was just too dark and cold out to fix it so he had to abandon it.
We went back today and messed around, he had said he checked the piping, and it definitely sounded like a leak so we checked the WG, until I felt something blowing on my leg I'm like wth is blowing on, oh, I found it.
Ultimately the inlet of his intercooler is at a wacky angle, he just needs to order a 45* connector and it should work great.

^when he called before you guys found the problem I was asking him questions that would typically be associated with a blown pipe/coupler. It sounded like the symptoms and glad that was it. Time for t-bolts and SD! At least that way he can get to a good stopping point to investigate!

In some cases you can unplug the TPS and limp it off the highway. This may not be the case on the evo however, unfortunately. I would get a DSM TPS and just plug that in and leave it hanging in the engine bay. That should give it a good enough signal that you can limp (and I do mean limp) it around.

^thanks Freddie. Best of luck down South (I think you already left).
TPS code was cleared by ODBII scanner to see if we could get the car to limp at that point, but it wasn't happening. Hopefully the TPS doesn't thrown another code once the MAP sensor goes in (i.e. - hopefully the MAP was the root cause).
Matt - what is the current status with your car?! I think last I saw you were getting a new WG, but haven't seen if that happened yet!
*edit - just read your post about the trip, Freddie! Looks like you could use a little good luck for a change! Yikes!
