The best reason yet for doing the foil delete. Inspect IC tube.

Robin....I've found that if you would reverse your wish list....#1 and #2 shouldn't be a problem......just do #3 first. :-)

Thanks for sharing that with us. Rep points given.

Were there any signs or indications on the foil now that you look back on it to indicate there was a problem? I'm mostly interested for all of us (or the few of us) that haven't done the foil delete.

Yes, Now That Think Of It There Were Signs. There Was Dirt&oil On The Foil But Thought It Was From The P.s. Pump Seeping. Of Course That Was Before I Did The Ccv Mod. I Do See The The Difference In Boost But Not Really Any Power, It Feels The Same. Surprised At How Much You Can Hear The Turbo, But I Like It!
