KEEP IN MIND NO EVOS AROUND ME NOR SHOPS so not like i can go and get information. once im done with this build which i basically am ill be versed in the 2.4(4g64) better as i am with the 2.3(4g63). That why i have people like yourself around to keep me on track

Nice man if i had somebody that knew how to do this stuff with me i would do it but im not about to play mcguyver with 19k in parts you know. LOL if i was going to do that its best to just pay car off with the 19k and not mod it you know. I do all my exterior mods and basic engine mods and i did my boost guage and i could of probaly done the wideband but when it comes to pulling the motor etc ill leave it the professionals never done one so im not about to start now. On my cars at least
