LOL, me too!!!! Now I can go on deployment confident she will be well looked after

looks like I'll be doing an accelerated break-in period (150miles)

odometer reads 34800 even, at 34950 I'll change the oil and go from there WOT style.

3 things I need to change:

1st, I need to hook up the EVAP ****, can't delete one last friggin code via HPTuners.

2nd & 3rd install these:




good shot of both bearings:



I'm going to install the upgraded Magnuson Tensioner and these 90mm double bearing lipped idler pulleys from RR. Really a pretty nice setup. Besides the increased tension the idlers use 2 normal sized bearings sandwiched together via the provided button on the outside of the pulley; provides about 1" of total contact area which should fix any high rpm deflection I may or may not see.







9lbs of boost in the first 2miles isn't a bad thing is it? LOL,
