Ones a pcv because no one around me carries any. And the other is a scan gauge :)

I put a used pcv valve in varsol over night and it cleaned up good, but compared to the new one it's still really sticky inside. So I got the new one it, and it's super tight, where as the old pcv valve was really loose. Probably had some vacuum leaks?

So my antenna never has worked, I don't use it either so I decided remove it. It was a pretty simple job, took about 2 hours including painting which took the longest. When I removed the antenna it wasn't connected to anything and came
Straight out.

So my mpg are incredibly good! The scan gauge works really good! I would recommend to to anyone :) it cost me quick a bit in shipping but to all you Americans it's probably considerably less expensive. If I was crazy I could get 56-60 mpg.... At 60kph. Lol I could actually do that because where I live and where I work is in the middle of no where.

Im waiting on my electric lock cylinders! Some time next week I'll have them and install them. I might do a video just for the heck of it.

I plan on installing the sensor mods some time this week as well, I drew up a rough diagram on paint of the wiring.

I will be doing the IAT sensor and the CT sensor. I don't have an Efie to work with unfortunately.

Got the sensor mod done today, took about an hour. I reused my
Old fog light switch and wiring because I can't use fog lights.

The IAT sensor I just put the resistor in the plug and taped it up good. Everything works great! Can't wait to see how it responds in winter. I noticed just even in 10c that mpg drop considerablly on start up and it takes close to 10-15 kms for mpg to level out to normal. Which sucks! So this mod should be ideal I hope.

Before IAT mod-~0.40 G/H
After IAT mod- ~0.35 G/H

Before CTS mod-~0.35 G/H
After CTS mod-~0.19 G/H

The engine will not start without the CTS switch off below 10c at idle. But driving should be fine as I'm pushing down the gas peddle.
