I found the EGR ports were not plugged, but I cleaned them anyway. After the rebuild, the Check Engine Light gave me a catalyst code, so I yanked it and found it completely melted down and plugged. I am already doing weight reduction and changed my driving habits to get the best MPG possible.

Next upgrade is a 2" exhaust to a cherry bomb in the center and a turbo muffler in the rear


The car is not a race car or anything, but just really fun to drive
