Message	with the plenum gasket and new EGR tube gaskets, eliminate the throttlebody cooling circuit, and put it all back together within a 4-5 hour timeframe. I've done it a few times for customers @ ~$250 and can be completed in around 2-3 hours. I could probably slam the job and do it in 1.5, but I dont work that way. I'd be happy to get a proper ECU program coming your way. [ http://ashspecz.com ] [ ashspecz.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ] Enthusiasts soon understand each other. --W. Irving.
