I'm in the process of doing my clutch, and this little half circle piece (on the right side of the picture) fell out. I've tried looking in the manual and on the etka drawings, but I can't seem to locate it anywhere. It has no part number stamped on it. It seems like it might have come from...

I did this a few weeks ago. 2 hours and 150 pieces later, I finally had an empty hole for the new sensor. Wingnut is right, its a huge pain in the ass to remove.

The funny part about this new test is that cars that actually pollute more will pass easier. I could easily turn up the tuning so my car smokes like a freight train, and it would still pass the OBD-II scan, where as before it may not have passed the visual test. What a joke.

Im interested.

I have a 2 or 3 year old tune from Kerma. Been meaning to get it replaced with a Malone tune, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

So in the name of science, I got my car tested today. I went to an independant shop in a small town, and they were already doing the OBD-II scans instead of the visual test. I have my EGR unit completely removed, as well as a fairly aggressive tune (with egr delete), and my car still passed...

A vice, a little grease, and some blocks of wood worked for me when I replaced mine.

What colors are the LEDs?

Way to go, now nobody will fess up to owning it. :p

I have the same thing on my turbo, except its yellow. It could be yellow here too, but it just looks green due to the lighting. I think it's paint used for balancing.

St2 Endurance holds fine with the mods in my sig. The clutch pedal is only slightly firmer than stock.

Pulled the downpipe, and the hot side looks good too. No warped or damaged blades that I can see. The lighter parts where the soot rubbed off was me touching the blade. Unless there is some problem with the turbo that isn't visible, the turbo looks to be in good shape. The gasket on the other...

There was no evidence of any damage on the cold side either time? I'm going to pull the downpipe and replace the gasket tomorrow anyways, so I guess we'll see.

I'm going to add that I can hear the turbo whine during spool down too, always around 1800-2000 rpm. Is there a possibility that this could be an exhaust leak at the turbo/downpipe seal? The downpipe seal looked to be in pretty bad shape when I looked at it.

You still hit them with your plastic one. :) Just wasn't as noticeable to you because its quieter. With careful driving, I'm assuming you mean swerving? Lots of times, debris is unavoidable without swerving on to the shoulder or oncoming traffic, neither of which is considered safe. I do my...
