Re: Updated!

Tony, it looks like you may have only copied some parts of the updates I did. Like the CCV mod is lacking some stuff added to the Mod Description, and the others are don't have the tools required, difficulty, etc. sections that I filled in.

What I did when I updated those was I just quoted your post, then added to whatever was there, and didn't remove anything. So I'd just suggest that you take the few that I posted, copy them, and paste them fully in place of those in your original post. That way nothing gets left off and also nothing is replaced, only added to. See what I'm saying?

edit - for easier viewing, here are the ones I'm talking about to sub into your original post:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mod Name: IC Foil Wrap Delete
Mod Difficulty: Medium
Tools Required: pliers to tear off foil, wire wheel attachment for a handheld drill, WD-40 and/or brake parts cleaner
Time to Perform: 1-2 hours
Mod Description: Intercooler Foil Wrap is removed to increase turbo
spooling sound. No known benefits to performance except maybe a
small weight savings [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] This is the Hot side CAC pipe (driver side), and the air in it is much hotter than the air in the engine comparment, so removing the insulation will do nothing to harm performance.

Mod Name: "Key-in-Ignition" Door Dinger Delete Mod
Mod Difficulty: Easy
Tools Required: Narrow prodding tool such as a very small screw driver
Time to Perform: 5-10 minutes
Mod Description: Removes that annoying dinging sound when your
key is in the ignition and the door is open. Turn ignition to RUN (do not start), insert prodding tool in hole under ignition and press the small ball/detent while pulling on ignition cylinder - ignition cylinder will come out. Look closely at the removed cylinder and find the small brass contact. You can wrap a bit of tape around it or simply pull it off. Reinsert ignition cylinder; it will click into place. Alternate method is to cut the black with pink tracer wire that runs up to the ignition cylinder.

Mod Name: CCV Mod
Mod Difficulty: Easy to Medium (depends on how much you want to spend)
Tools Required: Screw driver for removing screws that hold doghouse breather to valve cover, new o-rings to replace those between breather and doghouse if yours are worn/stretched, and whatever tools necessary to assemble your mod the way you choose to do it (hose, hose clamps at a minimum)
Time to Perform: 30-45 Minutes
Mod Description: Crankcase Vent tube is rerouted from the
air intake to a small canister that traps oil residue. There are
several options for this mod ranging from a pre-built kit to doing it
all yourself. Also can simply route to the atmosphere: reverse CCV breather dog house that is on driver side valve cover, connect length of clear vinyl or heater hose to the existing elbow via a barbed connector and hose clamps, then route hose up and over brake master cylinder and down along frame rail to your chosen point of termination for the hose. Replace the CCV return piece in the intake tube with a small piece of 4" exhaust pipe.
