It will take some doing for me to get a hold of a wideband. I'm swimming in a circumstantial cesspool and truthfully the rebuild has cost me some that I don't have. In total probably about as much as it would have taken for someone like Kevin Landers to do it for me, but since that includes the cost of tools and parts I think I'm doing ok, plus I can do it again whenever I want/need to. Hopefully not the latter ever again, but apparently such is life.

However, this car hauls at 5psi as it is. I'm in love again, and it's kind of like waiting for my wife to come back home (she's been gone for 6 weeks. don't ask, this isn't the place, but I'm sure you see the comparison). I keep getting a couple feels and a few kisses here and there, and once she's ready it'll be full throttle, haha. 10psi might be a little scary until I get used to it. Throttle response is better at low RPM, it picks up much sooner than before, so it makes up some in sensuality for my redline abstinence for the time being. Did I ever mention the sound? Now that the exhaust is properly sealed (I had a blown turbo-mani gasket before) it sounds beautiful. Unfortunately it hums loudly from 3300-3600RPM, but 3k in fifth is 70mph and it's pretty quiet there so it's not too bad. My wife thinks it's louder, which it may be, but the sound quality is definitely better.
