The pen ink? Try using a sharpie - permanent ink.

Default Re: CEL with turbo inlet tube. HELP!!

Well, I was thinking that you'd just stick a piece of masking tape on each wire and mark it with a number for shipping.....

Then after you put them on the car, tear off all the tape.... you dont want slips of masking tape in your engine bay....

ordered new batch of wires and replacement wires for the ones that didnt show up in my last batch (mad smiley)... they said they were "looking into it" but i wasnt going to make you guys wait so I ordered and an extra silver and purple to make up for the two that were missing... They are out of red for the moment and I will have those shipped priority when they become available. My apologies, but this is out of my controll. I will get your kit to you in a timely fashion though, one way or another.

In the off chance that you do the grounding mod and are out for a run and find absolutely NO turbo bost above 3k RPM at WOT, check the lower hose clamp going to the Intercooler. If it's left off/untightened from doing wires #3 and #4 it's makes for no boost and an awfully loud pssssst noise filling the entire engine bay. NOT that this happened to me, mind you, just that I, errr, overheard someone in Walmart complaining about this

Thanks Robert...great kit. With the exception of a few mishaps brought about by me the install was relatively easy and the instructions where great. (Installation finally brought me around to buying one of these telescopic magnetic things that allow you to get stuff out of hard to reach spots.) The bolt for wires #6 and #7 came off very easily with a breaker bar. I also preformed #6's end so that it fit that tight area a little better. I left the socket off the ratchet extension and pushed the extension down between the wires, then put the socket on ( first attempt brought about a trip to the store to get the magnetic thing mentioned above). From there it was easy. I've noticed a difference in engine idle (smoother). I've been running at 96 octane so I'll back it down to 93 and see if I can note any performance gains.
