    True, but the documentation helps me gather my thoughts, make plans, and remember things I did. It's invaluable.

        Before:


        After (don't hate on my manifold too much, it was my first one ever...):


        hopefully it's not. I was going to do the satin aluminum color. I wonder if the polished has better corrosion resistance? also were those stainless manifold pieces?

                        I promise there will be one. My AEM buddy is coming over tonight, so we're gonna try and start it. :)

                                        No dice on startup. Something is haywire with my EMS.

                                        The way the ECU turns on things like the fuel pump is by grounding the negative side of a relay coil. Well, for some reason, the drivers are closed when off and open when on...

                                        There is also a problem with the coils not firing, although the Cam Angle Sensor syncs perfectly.

                                        I am probably going to have to send it back to AEM.

                                                            It's painful, but we had an issue on a 'rod I helped build where the loom was pulled and stretched slightly getting it in the car and it had done 2 things - pulled a pin slightly out of a plug and also broken the wire inside the sheath (a prick to find), causing weird start/idle issues.

                                                            Can you get any diagnostics up on the ECU? See any weird signals?
