yeah stephen I remember... I opted for chopping down the arp studs a little bit to get them to fit in so I didn't have to take off the knuckle and axle. seemed easier. I got distracted by the bolton+cammed z51 corvette Steve was tuning, it was pretty sick. it ended up making like 432hp/420tq and sounded amazing. I have the installation procedure down now and I know exactly how to do it so the other side shouldn't take long at all.

there is alot of parts but there is a connection for the ebrake under the center of car so you dont have to mess with anything behind the disc

yes you have been...whats wierd is I left the car alone and went back out there about an hour later....started the car and it ran the entire time without any problems..idled fine. I replaced the crankshaft positioning sensor as well while I was under the car..gave the car throttle and nothing changed...seemed to idle okay.

no codes at all...this is the first time starting the car really after turbo being removed. I believe my throttle body is going to need to relearn stock air volume and so forth.

better now. Still waiting on the coolant leak to see if I fixed that. Also fixed a minor trans leak today also.

probably just needed to adjust to the huge changes you made over the span of a few days. can't expect it to run like it just came out of the factory with all that stuff you did to it.

yeah well I took it out this morning for a drive around the block to just check everything and sure enough I only have half throttle right now....thinking the TB is either having problems or I need to do TB reset which I will attempt later on today.

Good luck with it.
yeah my ATI wasnt bad when I was putting down 422rwhp until the bottom end of the block let go.
