Got everything back together and now it runs goooood!

 

WOW. That is the WORST case I've ever seen!!!

Glad to see the How-To is still helping people out.

 

I guess I can now add 'Dirtiest intercooler' to my list titles!

 

you guys ever smell a slightly silicon...burning smell after running with boost for a bit before cleaning the IC.....i'm wondering if this is what I've got going on....2003L..no mods...77K...no codes...just the slight smell and maybe its me but it just doesnt seem to have the power it used to.

 

How much does the bolts and the gaskets cost? my 00L has 42k miles on the motor so im sure mine is pretty bad.
