xmas update.
Installed some weatherTech floor mats this weekend:
These things are really nice! They fit like a glove and are already nice and dirty from use
Speaking of dirty, I found this on my intake ports/valves when I had the IM off recently:
After a bunch of research, I've taken the advice of aaron @ ER and Shane @ DB and just switched back to pump gas for a few tanks. I added a bottle of chevron fuel injector cleaner to the first tank, hopefully this cleans things up! Switching back to pump was dead easy on my setup: turn down MBC 3 full turns while filling the car up with BP93, fire it up on the e70 lingering in the lines and then hold down cruise control button after about 20 seconds. Car runs mid 11's AFRs and boost just touches 24psi in 2nd and 3rd, 25.5 in 4th. WGDC is set to zero across teh board so this is pure mbc, taper and all. Not ideal but the car still rips pretty good!
The car had a handful of CELs that would come and go but the last month the CEL has been on solid. po300 (random misfire), po365 (exhaust CAS), and p3000 error. po300 and p3000 are now gone after 1 tank, and I discovered that my exhaust CAS plug was loose--it had slightly melted from the tubular manifold before I put a heat shield and heat wrap tape (thanks again lomker! RIP!) over it. The pin was also bent really bad from when I was swapping manifolds on the dyno back in feb so idk, maybe the sensor is bad, maybe it just needs more TLC. I've seen people reporting po365s as a result of a misfire so I'll fiddle with the plug some more and probably try some new plugs after the holidays and see if that helps at all.
