Pressure washer. dishwashing detergent,plenty of elbow grease, some fresh undercoating, and sprayed down the plastic fender liners with some Protectent stuff from the parts store. Forget the brand but it was with the engine bay cleaning stuff worked great tho.

Installed my HKS type 0 turbo timer...to my surprise, the car was already wired up for a turbo timer, had the right clips in place and everything. I didn't even have to use the new wiring harness I bought.

Cleaned up the headlights with the 3M kit, looks so much better now. Also, I broke a bolt off the other day, one that holds the bumper cover on via the core support, passenger side. It took 45 minutes of drilling, tapping, and so on, but it's fixed now. I love doing little stuff like that...

Changed my cabin air filter and took apart my HAVC system to see why the temperature knob is so hard to turn. I also fixed the boost leak from where the previous owner had installed the boost gauge. Now I need to retest at a higher PSI.

^ Mine probably looks just as bad if not worse

Installed Mil.Spec throttle body seals as well as fixing a few boost leaks. Idles perfects now and feels stronger!

Bypassed the throttle body and plumbed the coolants back into the block.

Had DEI heat tape laying around. Wrapped my uicp in it. Don't expect a world of difference but figured why.

Reading the cabin filter post made me wanna check mine, it was pretty dirty.

I'm going to have to take a gander at my cabin filter after seeing those

First boost leak test last week started leaking at 7 psi from the boost gauge tap. I got it fixed and tested it again last night. It got up to 12 psi before leaking from the injector seals. I ordered the FIC seal kit and I will continue testing once get them installed. Also required the lighting for my boost gauge. The PO had wired it with speaker wire to the ignition and it would flash on and off all the time. I required it to the dimmer switch so now it only comes on with the lights and is controller by the dimmer. Still looking for some stock Ricaros though.
