And an automatic at that. Congrats! -

yep! as well as the spoiler! LOL!!! Today I replaced the Alternator pulley with the correct one as the PO had installed a new alternator and along with it the incorret pulley which had the SC belt 2 teeth too far toward the engine. Not to mention along with the smaller 68mm charger pulley the original length belt so the tensioner can't take out the slack and the thing runs like a$$ with no to little outout from the charger. The charger was rebuilt as it has a 12mm belt vs the OE 9. I'm gonna swap it out before I leave for FL just for piece of mind. I'll post pics in a bit. Tommorrow I'm installing a Vac/Boost Gauge so see how well the engine is running and also installing the Bahn Brenner RSR Outlet. Being here in WV is being productive for the 'Rado.

UPDATE: So today I installed the correct alternator pulley and that RSR Outlet I got. Well something caused my heart to stop during the install. On the Silencer Box where the 4 bolts hold it together, the bottom 2 were gone thus leaking boost completely. Installed the RSR and OH MY GOD.... WOOOTTTTT!!!!! Still smiling, that thing is quick!!!
Another Extraordinary Day here in WV
