Ok, well maybe not a ton more power. I have removed my power steering and bracket to eliminate some ugliness and free up a little HP opposed to keeping the PS as I originally planned. If I can get my hands on a manual rack, I'll swap..but for now...capping is just fine.



Also, since I removed the PS, I pulled the dual alt pulley that I used way back in the NA days and put it on my s5 alternator and will be running double belts for more reliability.



I pulled the TB again to port it more as I only did a little bit when I did the TB mod, and I cleaned it up some too. Then I pulled my IC elbow and UIM to clearcoat w/ hitemp engine enamel clearcoat to better the shine and durability of my polishing job...



Since I had the entire upper plenum off, I was looking around and decided ....why not, I pulled the entire fuel line/vacum spider **** out and will picking up some extra fuel line to just loop to the fuel rails. This makes for a very clean appearance! I have now joined the "two vacum line" club...if such a think exists. I've got one for my boost guage/MAP sensor/BOV and one for the FPR...



All this I hope will lead to some little extra HP and a cleaner engine bay(my fav). My digi cam is on a yacht in MD right now though, lol..but I should get it back later this week when it returns and I'll snap some new pics!



Sorry so long....
