Cleaned the AEM filter on the bg for what's probably the first time since I've been on island, so ~2 years.
Was getting oil sheen on the cleaning water through 5 buckets of water not to mention how bad the soapy water bucket looked after the 15min soak.
Wouldn't be surprised if i see a bit of a MPG bump.
Still need to replace injector o-rings and O2 sensor before I see anything of merit though.
Also clutch is dying after 80k.

Using Linux for anything serious besides server or software dev is like using a tin can and a string for telecommunications.
normal light driving should not cause it to get glowing hot. whats your timing like? & AFR's?
what size dump is on that again?
It's all stock GT-X stuff. Timing is set according to the FSM except as changed by the shaving of the head. The only non-stock parts on it are the FMIC and piping and BOV. And now the wideband, of course. It stays pretty close to 14.7 at light load and idle, drops to about 12 at WOT, and pegs lean on overrun.
The glowing seems to be reduced with the new o2 sensor, but I still see it faintly sometimes. I think need to check my intake for leaks that only occur under boost. And I need to get new injector o-rings just to be safe.

I think that is why the center consoles have the blank switch covers near the handbrake. At least mine has them.
