I was just thinking about this thread/your car and wanted to know the progress. Thanks for the updates. My car is running pretty good. After replacing the MAF, it ran great for several weeks. What's weird is if the HID's are on, the RPMs will drop to around 500...but it's definitely not stalling like before. When I turn the HID lights off, the RPM's go back to normal around 750. Strange huh!?

Yes bL manifold, I was a little nervous when i receive it
Yes there is alot of room, the exhaust housing will not hit the TB if i decide to stay with the stock manifold and it will clear up to 76mm Turbo with the distributor in place.

I sent you a PM

Looking good Omar; man you left too early on Sat night; he hit 50E and had some real fun. Two 1khp supras battled it out. I ran the viper & a GST eclipse and Ahmad w/the CLK55.

Looking good man. Seems like your making some major progress.

Symptoms came right back tonight. Car was ready to stall. I unhooked the battery and MAF cables for about 20 minutes to reset everything. What's the likely hood that this MAF has gone bad too? Ughhh
