I have some foam/foil hvac insulator wrapped on my PMAS tube as well, although not nearly as much as you. I don't have the elbow wrapped either. I shoved my velossatech in there to block some of the radiator backwash and all this has made a pretty big difference vs. just the original PMAS stuff...
I got mine from Ikon. The fit and finish was great, however I had to get my own hardware in regards to threaded studs and nuts/washers. Not a big deal. Also when I drilled it for the wicker bill, I discovered it was hollow. A little alarming, but I made sure to give it a little extra effort to...
This is why I like local tuners that you can see in person and get a dyno tune with (if they are reputable coyote tuners). Shaun @ AED spent a good 3 hours with my car between figuring out my car's weird quirks and diagnosing a clogged passenger side cat, to getting all the gasoline out of my...
Support your local (to the state anyways) tuner and go AED. Took my car up to his shop and had it dyno tuned. Gained a lot of knowledge and the customer service was great. He knows these engines inside and out as well as our local fuel quirks in CA. My car hurts a lot of feelings on E85 now
hmmm....I may gap my new plugs I just bought to that and install them if they aren't already there. They're OEM plugs so not sure if they're already gapped to that. I used to use 0w oil but the stumble was still there. If anything it was worse than with 5w-30.
I use alternate between MMO and Power Plus in my fuel tank (I run E85 100% of the time) to lubricate stuff so I guess I'll try the MMO in my crankcase and see how it does then I guess change the oil after 500 miles or so
I remember seeing somebody report that they had the idle stumble issue and took it to the dealer. This is commonly thought to be bad VCTs so some people have them replaced. However the dealership in this case simply manually cycled them to clear the gunk out and that fixed it. Of course you have...
one thing i used to do with my old BMWs is when the car is cold, squeeze the lower radiator hose repeatedly with the cap open and you will get some bubbles to pop up
