Erin and I crawled under the car tonight, and it is 4 channel.

I'm really digging that one... especially with an install like this:

I just bought some new parts from BimmerWorld.

These should take care of the stock bushings that I seem to tear through like butter. Super-easy install... so no pressing out old bushings for delrin inserts.

Snagged the tall-boy.

Could have used one of these yeeeeears ago. It'll be nice to finally have one.

I'm looking at some other goodies from Turner right now...

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

I want to say I read somewhere I while back that plugging the idle control ports will yield a power gain... but I can't seem to find any info on it now. I'm sure it isn't good for a street car... but what would be the downside for the e46?

i did it to my sr, but it was more for looks. i could not see a lot of power gains out of it. also you would need a stand a lone to make it idle. so i would stay away from that.

Thanks man... That's what I needed to hear. I think I remember reading that it was like a 10-12hp gain... but it makes sense that the TMS cars run standalone.

BTW... I'mma call you later today.
