The it was supposed to be just an oil pan gasket project

Brilliant! I wish I had thought of that. My cut wasn't very straight :( With the BMW Performance intake I had to cut it at a slight angle too in order for it to mate up properly.

If those AFR's are as rich as mine were out-of-the-box then it will really come alive when they get dialed in.

And once you get our tune dialed in and drive it a bit, you'll start looking into a smaller pulley, then maybe FI cams, then meth injection, etc :) :)

oh gawd, I hope not... ok well maybe an 83mm pulley...

I remember you saying how hard it was to cut it strait and square and just started thinking about what I could use...

Man, I am going to need to buy a Supercharger to get over the trauma caused by this oil pan gasket..... Worst thing I have ever done on a vehicle and I've worked on everything from a 1952 Jeep M38A1 to a 2014 Subaru BRZ.

I certainly would be a lot more motivated to finish this if I had boost on start up :D

Installing the TS2 is just as much if not more work than the oil pan gasket but at least you're not laying under the car for long periods of time... and the end result is a little more satisfying :)

I was not too annoyed with the oil pan gasket. It goes back together alot faster then removing all the stuff to get to it. And at the end, no more leaks.

I didn't think it was that bad either...
