ya 05 has tamperproof torx too

 

Hehehe...tamper-RESISTANT

 

Well Gents,

I FINALLY performed the cleaning.

I must say that the sensor did NOT look like it needed any cleaning. As a matter o' fact it looked brand new. My car only has 20K on it. So I was thinking, should I or shouldn't I ??

Well, I said F* it, why not. I barely touch the car with all the mods I have "stacked" up, that I haven't put on yet b/c of warranty fears. If the check engine light came on, I would take it straight to the dealer and say "Here, fix it." and pray the warranty covers...

So anyways, looks can be deceiving!!!

After going through with it and performing the cleaning, the old undershirt I had underneath to catch the run off, had black marks of dirt and debris that I could NOT see with the 'naked eye'.

I'll post pictures later on this evening.

My .02, it passed the "BUTT DYNO" with FLYING COLORS!!!!!

I could tell a great difference in the PICK UP and the response in the gas pedal. Before, I would be hauling ****, but this time around I felt a tiny bit more "PULL" there. Actually a good bit more. The cold weather could also have played a HUGE roll in this feeling. The colder the air, the better. It was reading 41 degrees inside the cabin for the outside temp (of course...)

Not a drop jaw difference, but it felt like it just got a wif of the smelling salts and woke up a little bit!

I'm looking forward to upgrading the intake now!

A must do for each and every owner here.

Thanks Guys!
