i noticed you moved the log during the afm relocation did you shorten it? is that better than leaving it where it was? i am thinking of doing it myself only im looking at putting it under the battery. just have to shield the afm from road hazzards

i had i spear log so i did shorten it, i found it had to be earthed to the body for the sesnsors to work. i have done the afm relo b4 and found it a pain in the ass the warm up and the add the pipe to the log trick didnt work so i moved the sensors aswell. it is worth it as i can turn the key and it purrs like it normaly would. but putting it under the battery is not the best i dea as water from the wheel will make a mess and damage some things.

the pipe (or hose) that runs from the "log" to the pipe between the afm and turbo needs to have quite large diameter. i used about 20mm dia. coolant hose, had 10mm hose b4 and was horrible to cold start (especially in below zero (c) conditions). after changing it had no problems,

fair enought i had fairly small hose, like the one from b4 the turbo to the rocker cover. meh, it work and no dramas.
