    Oh wait. This is intake. A crack wouldn't cause boost problems being pre turbo. If anything it would be sucked closed. Or if open too much cause extra unfiltered flow.

    I found a non ziptie photo of the crack hanging out in the corner. Luckily my phone took a decent photo to zoom in on. Ill include the whole photo. This was first cover removal. zoomed in for this.

    I feel like its fine because the single ziptie is holding it together. I'll remove it and see if I can spread it by hand. I have some good sealant that I can use. I'd like if I can to split it a bit to apply and then clamp it back together and hold with more zipties.

    I dont have any close up photos before the zip tie. Of course. Because why? Now I need to add more zip ties and maybe some sealant until I can get a new pipe. Need to check options.

    The zip tie knock sensor fix was actually holding the pipe together.

    I see now. That's the problem. That's always been the problem

    I spent hours with an assortment of prybars applying pressure. Or lift? I'm at the point it needs to be ruined to get it out. It was ruined before I bought the car by the person that torqued it to infinity and beyond. And then I need to JB weld it back into the cover. Then it's very light touch...

    The Auxito are prefect. Disabled hyperflash on the front. Regular level of amber. Bright white. Like real DRL. I definitely like how they cancel the white light when they signal. My LASFIT or whatever was dim white and stayed lit during the blinding amber signal.

    Yeah. I've yanked and pulled on every single rubber part that's part of the intake system. It all seems sealed and connected. I just did an early oil change to get a good look at the turbos and connections and they are tight. Like I said, it seems to be back. Maybe the knock sensor was...

    But I also believe I've been acclimated. Before the SHO I drove a 5.3 SAAB 9-7x. So when it first hit wet cat I was like "oh damn". Before the SAAB I drove a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. Supercharged 3.8. There have been times this sho has been slower than the gtp. Now that it's maybe back I'm...

    The car has been sad dog since my last post. I looked into the knock sensor wires. I had been monitoring cylinder 1 timing advance. I imagine if it was knocking or shorting it would be backing off timing. But it was +35-40. I'm watching this with Bluedriver. A bluetooth dongle that connects to...

    The nut insert lost its hold because previous owner/mechanic over tightened. So I get infinite spin until I spin it fast enough to melt out. Melt is how they get in so gotta melt out.
