Going to just note this here for the sake of documentation:

This has happened since I got my OBDII splitter around June 2014 or so.

Whenever I scan with HPTuners my thermostat and pass climate control goes NUTS.

The thermo stat screen is flashing all kinds of weird stuff and blowing air out of vents and doing all kinds of weird stuffs. Meanwhile, the pass climat control is raving with red orange and green lights.

Other than the beeping and light shows I dont experience any other ill effects. I have learned to live with it because the whole point of having the OBDII splitter is being able to use 2 devices without unplugging.

ANyone else every experience this?

Don't get any baddies in the innards looks like you have tape.

Subject: Re: Charlie Robinson's '99 Riv Mon Apr 13, 2015 7:57 pm

You're going to need a bunch of little tiny polishing bits to get in all the nooks-and-crannies dude...

Nice gun btw.

I got em! I have plenty of bits and 3 different rotary tools. Starting biggest to smallest.

Thanks! Range time is expensive but I am going at least once a month.

The goal is...............

Gen V, N*, and E85 before the Norwalk Buick Raceday end of May.

Yeah, the only thing I havent super secured is the boost bypass valve stick thing sticking out and the end of the snout.

Snout looks super airtight tho but I am still going to protect it when I start hitting that part.

How do I get the boost bypass butterfly out so I can remove that external rod so I can polish around it easier?

Sir Psycho, get that E85 going asap so I can follow your foot tracks!

Subject: Re: Charlie Robinson's '99 Riv Mon Apr 13, 2015 8:06 pm

Working on it! Actually working on it right this very minute haha. Give it a couple more months and we can go shooting all the time too!

Subject: Re: Charlie Robinson's '99 Riv Wed Apr 15, 2015 10:13 pm

Working down to smaller brushes. About to get the dremel out. My favorite OCD stuff. nervous

The harbor freight wire brushes are explosive. Shrapnel everywhere. Be careful. pimp

Not trying to hijack, but have you thought about blending and smoothing the casting lumps? Notice both ends and the center "lump"
