Been super busy. Not much time for updates.
Things of note:
1) I am apparently now one of the very few that can't say they've never seen a water pump fail. Mine failed at the bearing seal. Caused coolant to pour out of the top vent hole which proved to be a completely mysterious leak. Looked like it was coming out of the water pump gasket or heaven forbid my newly installed head gasket. I replaced the pump gasket before deciding to replace the whole pump. Weak.
2) Still have a CEL for my rear O2 sensor and tgv deletes. I haven't ignored the codes yet so the car is still in limp mode. I've driven it around the block, but that's about it. At least she drives
3) The drive around the block revealed an oil leak at the return of the turbo. I think I split the return hose when I was jamming it on there. Will pull the up pipe and replace the line.
4) time for tuning! Once I clear the CELs and get the car out of limp, I should be able to tune it up.
