Oakos is really the only shop close, or Subie Guys in Traverse City.

I love upgrading them casually. If I had to do regular maintenance on them, or be under a time-crunch, I'd hate it with a quickness.

Besides, being able to machine parts has come in handy for more than just me.

Haha, probably because he dropped a grand on that turbo and them internet myths about turbos dying because of no pressure release valve has him spooked.

I say **** it though: every other car scene gets away with no BOV and their **** is fine (EVO, 240's, Supra, and Skyline specifically), so mine will be too. I'll be the guinea pig for all of the internets.

Although I still have a EGT probe in my up pipe, and that + LC/AL will probably kill the turbo first.

Would I be able to go to any of you guys for any of these?
I'll take care of the tougher and more labor intensive ones elsewhere then.

Look up mighty mounts if you want to use the factory crossmembers. Otherwise use the Q clips to hard mount em.

I hand washed it yesterday while I had the bumper vents popped out and was plasti dipping those in the basement during the day. So that was about 24 hours after I finished the mirrors and hood scoop. I was gentle when washing those parts, but it held up. I did the side badges a few months ago and have washed a lot since then and those are holding up great.

Next time I wash in a week or so though I'll let you know. I don't anticipate it peeling though, so long as you apply it correctly it'll last a long time from what I hear.
