just got back from tunning the car. 13.0 til boost hits then its 12.3-12.4 across the board and 12.2 at redline. just got a datalogger today so if anyone wants a tune on there AFC i can hook up the datalogger and fine tune your car for you.
i dropped the gromet that holds the sensor on the coldside(i think) into the pipe and then drove it later on that night (bad idea) and took off the fm today and couldnt find the gromet so i got parinoid it sucked up into my valves so i ripped off the intake manifold and checked and didnt see it so thats still a mystery of its where abouts but bolting the intake manifold back on i over tightened one of the bolts and cracked it and now it sucks air in the valves through the crack so i need a new intake manifold and gromet and im still clueless on where the old one went so once i fix that it will with my luck break down bcuz this damn gromet went somewhere it shouldnt and then im going to have to rip the whole damn car apart to find that...and to top it all off i only have $46.00 to my name right now.so im clueless on what to do.

i beat the piss out of it hoping maybe it was just stuck in it..
if its in there it must be lodged pretty good.
anyone know where it might be stuck at?
im pretty lost.
the gromet is a pretty big size i dont realy see it getting past the valves.
i just dont know where else it could have went because theres no way it just happend to pop out of the hole its supposed to go in..
i shook the intercooler like a mad man (that i was!) and nothing came out.. i also shook the intake manifold while it was still connected to the throttle body hoping itd fall out onto the throttle body and no luck.
im at a dead end .
i just dont want to replace the intake manifold and then that ghost gromet gets into my motor and have to get the motor rebuilt.. i dont have money for that. if that happens my cars going to sit there for like a year while i save every penny i get my hands on..
what would the pressure washer do? u think if its in there it will break it free?
if it is not in the intake manifold, coldside pipe or the intercooler chances are it popped out. when you get a new grommet go to Autozone and get a Toyota PCV valve grommet and you will need baby oil to get the sensor in there and never worry about it poping out again
