You won't experience any significant difference in ride or handling with the wider tires. Tire brand and wear rating will probably make more difference than the change in size.

Just to beat the proverbial dead horse, try to get a list of parts from dealer what replaced the timing belt. Dealers, especially on a for sale unit, have been known to take shortcuts. It's often the doodads (rollers, tensioner, water pump, engine mount bolts) that fail.I just got the car back , timing belt was replaced at the dealer. Thanks to all the guys asking me to do this.
Car still has the original tires, from 2013, believe it or not. Just as a fun fact .
The Monsoons are OK. They're better than the standard radio, but few people are going to sit in their cars just to listen to the Monsoon system. If you can pick one up for a few bucks, it's an easier install than almost anything else and the looks will match exactly. The Monsoon system was a combination of head unit, amplifier, and speaker equalization, so it's not just pulling out the head unit and slapping another double-DIN in there.Are they pretty good , these Moonson units ? I can get one from the a junk yard for few dollars, just to keep the original look. Anyone knows where i can buy those blades called removal DIN tools, from a brick store :?

It seems also that the 2003 and 2004 models are identical , so most likely they can be swapped around,correct ??
I got the 205 /60 ones from a local junk yard, as being brand new tires, with 10/32 thread on them for really cheap. General brand i believe, I had those before for my truck , and they were really good tires. The 195/65/15 i have on the car right are from 2003 according to the date stamped on the tire, most likely the original tires that car came with . They are full of cracks , but they still look good. I dont trust them . I am taking a chance with these ones. I get my new tires tomorrow.

You really need VCDS to properly diagnose the problem.I dont want to replace the turbo and getting the same issues.
The VNT actuator when pushed down on it , from the top side of the engine, how much it is supposed to move, like an 1 inch , more or less ?
It should move pretty easily or no ?
Hi there.OP, are you in the West Coast Washington or East Coast?
If the code was for a boost issue it usually gets cleared when you shut the car off.I have one of these guys installed , less than 1 month ago . Bosch Automotive 0281002757 Mass Air Flow Sensor, bought it on Amazon.
There is no soot in the EGR or intake manifold.
Car has only 82 k miles at this moment. I did not checked the code yet, it happend last night, i ll try to read it this following 2 days.
N75 on the way out ?
I ll try to find a N75 at the local junk yard, to see what it does. Turbo is running fine , i am out of ideas.
What is WAG ???
