Get your E5 and it should be easier. After lots of work I got the flex tube off the old truck intake. Cut through it in a few places but don't think it will affect it once I get it trimmed up like I want. Need to tap the reducer so I can get the fitting in further. Right now Germany is on the schedule for about 2 months in the summer. How long is the extension for? I need to get hot on taking notes and learning this tuning stuff.

wien77,
Try R & R Machine shop in Opelika @ (334)749-0961 or (334)749-0646, they balanced my flywheel for me when I had my T56. I know it's not local. I don't know about you, but I don't trust anyone in columbus to work on my car let alone machine work.

Hey Craig, going to wait til it warms up alittle and I'll start on the car. Oven cleaner tore through my coating in no time. When you come out bring the key and we can go pick up Karl's stuff. In the mean time I'm doing alittle house work to try and get caught up before we go to LaGrange.

Can you get the DVD thats suppose to come with the Z06? Guy at work bought one from Legacy and they didn't give him the DVD. He went up there and said something to them and he was told they would get one and call him when it came in. This was a month and a half ago.
