    in any case, awesome job so far. you'll need to put some effort into getting those tires under the bodywork.
    Hopefully, you'll se by the end of the summer!

    These are OEM from the car, I used carefully a drill with a metal brush + new o-rings. Can't you get them at the dealer if anything?

    I'm runing Megasquirt PNP2 which uses a MAP sensor, no more MAP needed

    I'll also be runing a custom intake manifold since the stock one didn'T wanted to clear the M5 brake booster
