Default Listen up 7G's

Ok guys I'm going to do it, the Y8 intake manifold conversion and return fuel line this winter/spring. I've read up on it as much as I could find and it seems that the most difficult part is the electrical part, mainly extending and rerouting the wires. I've read that someone had to create a "remote air idle" sensor, no idea what that is, I'm sure I can find a work-around. I'm gonna take my time with this, document EVERYTHING and take lots of pics. Since I only know of a few people on 7thgenciv that have done this and NO ONE will do a complete write up on, I'll make sure it gets done right. I'd ask if anyone around the PA area wants to help but I only have 1 day a week I'm gonna be able to put time in on this, so this will definately NOT be a weekend job. I'll keep you guys posted when everything comes in and as I go along.

I'm also putting on UR pulleys (yeah yeah yeah, don't wanna hear about it), so I'll do a DIY for that and let you know how they are.

I'm back at school so prolly won't be on here as often but when I can I'll keep it updated.

I have a sneaking su****ion that the few who did it were some "kids" who had someone else do all the work and didn't really know what was going on, or just plain dropped it off somewhere and said do this. So they really don't have a full understanding of what went into it.
