I get to pick my car up tonight. Yes another case of loose connectors. They didn't solder them they were just replaced them. Hope this time they hold out OK.

WTF?! I hope you get everything fixed once and for all!

I know yesterday when I got in my car to leave once the Stage kit was installed I noticed the CEL was on. I turned right around and pulled right into the service bay! They hooked up the scanner and the tech forgot to tighten the purge solenoid so they corrected that and I was on my merry tire-shredding way. I hope everything works out for you.

The only thing I noticed was that the boost gauge didn't go past 16 psi but I'll withhold commentary on that until I've driven it a few miles and drive it in competitive mode too.

Well I went for a nice long ride after work and driving the car in "I" and with the Competition/Launch control mode on, it holds 23-24psi all day long! NIIIICE! Even driving w/ the TC on and the tranny in "D" the SS takes off like a rocket! Boost seems to hang at 17-18 psi but the acceleration's unreal now, I'm in Love! Now on to getting the exhaust in and installed...
