the staple isnt bad, but the nail is sideways into the tread area of the tire. its not leaking but i dont wanna take chances, plus theres a gouge in the sidewall of that same tire. speeding on that tire isnt the best idea IMO.
just ordered the wastegate and bracket....3-5 business days it says

THe LTFT's are hangin around 6.0-7.0 right now.
THe STFT's are usually between -3.5 and 4.0 averaging 2.5. I only saw one occassion where they spiked up to 10.4. so far thats not bad! I mean I dont have any CELs or anything.
I did notice a grinding noise similar to the noise that our rear brakes make when they are bad coming from under the hood when I get near 0 psi. kinda bothers me alittle.

Not too bad, been busy with things around here. Mom is looking into getting new windows put it. Just bought a new lawn mower, I'm trying to get the tC all ready for OC in my spare time along with it being the holiday weekend and having people over.
OC will be nice to get away, but I forsee it being very boring very quickly.

Matt if you're looking for tires, look into the Continental extremecontact dws, Cris is running them on his wifes Jetta and they get great mileage. He said that they're going on his GTI as well when he becomes due for new tires as well.

actually getting paid monthly is FTW! It taught me how to budget and not be a tard with my money. I'm actually saving more than I was when I got paid bi-weekly at my old job.

Well.... It is Special! I put it on and it sounds cool! lol. Yeah, like I said, I will get an aftermarket tune down the road. The intake isnt giving me any issues yet.

you mean that metal thing with the cap? nah, not hitting that. Its pretty solid to the motor since thats what it mounts too but im curious myself what happens when I throttle it and the engine torques. The sensor is really close to the heat shield, im gonna try and adjust it today maybe.
