Yeah after starting from this page i decided to go back and read the entire thread, was a good read.
I ment more when your removing the intercooler from the engine, because as some of us know if you try to remove/install a stock TMIC by undoing the hose clamps only (insted of unbolting from the throttle body flange) its a real mc mission. I figure because your using v bands it slides off pretty easy. -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............265 kw atw 22 psi (355 awhp)

Yeah this is very easy, just undo the two -12AN water line fittings, one hose clamp for the BOV, one 12mm bolt for the bracket, and then the two 10mm nuts for the v-band clamps and it comes right off no problem (ideally drain the system by popping a hose of the heat exchanger first  )-------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

That's the stock 2nd gen AFM. The 3rd and 4th gens use the MAP sensor only.

Hey, Mouse Here,
Just so you all know, I have had the vert shipped up to Anchorage, Alaska. It was shipped out last week. The doc made the Vert awesome. I have been talking to my girl, and have since decided that the vert will be getting a new interior. I am not going to drive the vert in the winter, too much snow. so I have 8 months left to work on it. Before I can actually drop the top and hit the road:) The carpet is new, so I will remove the seats and stitch new ones myself, not seat covers. If it turns out like I want it to, I might go for the doors and console too. any ideas how they should look? |

I say go for a custom look on the doors...the area above the door handle (in the middle) lends itself to some new material quite well. Go for it! Just look at what Vincent_Doggy did.
Props for keeping the car as well.
