Hey, there's an idea.......maybe if the bumper and lip were painted yet I'd feel more inclined to actually do it...........

you used the correct wga ? was it a stock msp one or did you buy a new one? the only thing i can think of is the rod on your wga is too long and keeps the valve open at all times. maybe you need to shim the actuator so that the rod keeps the valve in the closed position at rest. alternately you could have a big ass leak, but you would still see SOME boost on your gauge. unless you have a fat hole in your intercooler. your turbo spins freely id guess?
it is also possible you lost the little clip from the wga and its just stuck open. that thing is a b**** to work on with the turbo installed ha.
What's is everyone's preferred lowering springs? it's the next step om my mp5 build
Wrong linkA popular choice is the Tein S-Techs. Eibachs are good as well...even better that there's a set for sale currently

Not today but Saturday I had an alignment done. Here are the notes from the tech:
Both outer tie rod boots are tearing but there is no play. Jam nuts are starting to round off due to rust. Left front inner tie rod was seized to outer tie rod. Heated tie rods up in order to adjust, was able to move and put in spec.
I've owned the car since 2006 with ~64K miles and AFAIK the tie rods are original. Not sure that I want to tackle this myself given the rust so time to price parts and labor and then go from there. Our daughter is the primary driver of the car now so I'd like to get it taken care of sooner rather than later. Anyone have brands they recommend or to stay away from? OEM inner tie rods are $65.70, inner tie rod boots are $27.27 and outer tie rods are $54.41. I'll check RockAuto next and even Autozone. I used their LCA and have had no issues with them.
