    Why the swap? I'm genuinely curious

    I had my original V2b in my daily driver Speed3. I then bought a second Speed3 that came with a V2b that is in pretty crappy condition. Where the OBD cable plugs in is broken so I had to hold it in place in order to get the AP to stay on...could be a major problem while flashing a map if the AP suddenly cuts off due to a loose cable.

    So, I figured I had a couple options: I could attempt to sell the shitty AP for super cheap and buy another used V2b, or I could use the shitty AP for the V3 upgrade trade-in program through Cobb and move my pristine condition V2b over to the other car. I went with the latter.

    Valve cleaning on 90k mile valves with EGR and no OCC. Finally installed an OCC and a @Maisonvi EGR delete kit I got well over a year ago... This weekend I will hopefully get the DM PMM and TMM installed.

    Also changed out wheels on my dads speed6 since we found one of his Miro 111's were cracked and replaced the HVAC mixer actuator so the ac works again. First weekend being able to work on cars since my knee surgery was rather successful!

    Yup. So now I get to look at the shiny new V3 in my daily driver and the V2 will get to live on in the track-only car.

    Just cleaned my MAF and decided to see how Stratified's OTS Stage 1 map compares to Cobb's Stage 1+, despite my having a CS SRI/TIP rather than JBR. Just...rather underwhelmed with how the Cobb 1+ feels, and not quite ready for a custom tune until I at least get a race pipe in the next few weeks.

    very carefully. I had made a intake similar to a single barrel open breather, my dumb ass never welded the nut holding the top plate screw. It was behind the bracket and vibrated loose.

    Ill need one new head, probably send the other one in and have them ported and polished. add a set of .600 lift cams, and redo the 1250 bottom end.
