    I need to move my AFR to the collector. When I first started this venture I opted to just have it welded in on one bank.. not ideal I know.

    Ahh okay. I have 1 on the left bank near driver secondary and was going to go right but if it’s better to go single in collectors I’ll pivot.

    Right???

    I think I've done things over 2-3x to get things where I wanted. This thread has helped a lot to minimize that but still cancelling my own indecision and chasing the dragon

    Part of why I haven't bought HP Tune credits yet because I know I'll just have to go deeper once I start tuning.

    Oh I’ve realized it, I just have been able to restrain myself for now.

    I keep telling myself that I’m allowed to tune once I do the snout oil change and check the plugs and replace the intercooler lid seal.

    But I should probably add AFR and boost gauges to the list, because it would be so sad if I blew up @crashnburn80 ’s taco after his keep went boom.

    You’d have to do something pretty wild to blow one up.

    Oh I'll be the first to tell you that I'm a lunatic about modding vehicles. I've been tested. :laugh:

    Forget that, where did the entire front end go?

    Believe it or not, takes me a little over an hour to remove the front. And that includes the A/C system evac. Takes me average three and a half - four hours to remove the motor from a Transit as long as there's no surprises along the way..
