Default FYI - For anybody, the sensor should be GREEN

If your sensor is not green you should change to this, it only cost $7.00. We found about this through the S4 board. The non green sensor is notorious for throwing bad info to your ECU, the most common problem (the Black sensor) is that it puts your car into LIMP mode and will not let you generate boost.

Default congrats! If you're like me, that kind of stuff worries you...

to death until you figure it out. You anticipate all the worst, wonder "WHY ME??", etc.
And of course, the spousal unit gives you the "if you'd just leave things alone...but NOOOOO, you can't do that..." chin music :&gt

If the car wasn't already there, we didn't have a snow-storm, and I had time, I'd do it myself.
