Here are a couple cell phone photos of the parts Mike made for me.

Here is some of the stuff I have pulled off so far and dont plan to reinstall.

Here is a photo of the drivers side block off plate installed.

And lastly here is a photo of the valves separated by removing the star head screws.

Awesome! Now lets see how easy it is to get that sensor off of the valve.

Here is a shot of the plates before I sent them to you:

I dont think the sensor will come out easy.

I need to get rid of that air pump... it's ugly looking under my hood with that thing sitting in there.

Pull the manifold! I can only imagine how much it would suck with the manifold in place!

Just remove the pump and plug the hose. Thats what I did for the time being. You still have to turn off a bunch of check engine lights though.

I've got a complete second manifold with TGV deletes that I might swap on down the road now that my SF5 is going a different route.

Turning off the CEL's is really the only issue? It's not as though I'd need a retune or something... but I'd need that with a TGV delete anyways.

Do you know who tuned your map? Contact them and they should be able to disable the codes easy.

Here are the photos I purchased from killboy.com photos - The Original Photographer from US129 Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap from our trip to the Tail of the Dragon

 

[Tuned200]

Today I started to put the intake manifold back together.

And what I have now....

 

[FXTSPORTS08]

Nice pics from the Dragon!

Also that IM is going to look sweet when it goes back in! I will probably do a red IM when I do my TGV deletes. Although my goal is to always keep the stock engine cover so the red might not be seen too well.

 

[Tuned200]

I ditched the engine cover since its actually just hold heat in!

I totally forgot to have the injector covers done! FML

I bet that was an oh dang moment.... That does suck but will anyone else notice?

 

[Tuned200]

I will. And the bolts are nasty looking too. I need bling!!!!

 

[dpkilty]

I will.

I knew I would hear that answer. Its your car, do what makes you happy. as for the bolts, maybe try some metal polish and or a wire wheel on a dremel. That works pretty well for cleaning them up.

Don't think the red would match, which would bother me more than polishing.
