So you have two non-working eggs, and you drive... a bicycle now? :sad:

Hope the :turboyaris: gets going soon.

Or you could put the stock intake on it since it gets cold air from the factory setup?

update: car runs like poo, getting knock sensor light and cant boost without car bucking like a wet horse. i have parts on the way, they just taking forever to show up. also i dont mind taking the intake manifold off so thats not a problem. and my car stalls a lot, i had to dig up old coils at my house to get it started the other day when car was stuck at work. i got new coils on the way. i think the alternator may be bad, heck i cant even rev it enough for it to fckn work anyways. -.- basically the car is not ready to be driven and is fighting back. balls.

If you keep it stock it’ll likely be fine until 100k miles or so. The electro gizmos will be odd tho ... you never know with things like shocks etc
