It is very frustrating dealing with s/c shutoff but once you get the pump on there the car will run amazing compared to how it is now.

Love the pics!

Ok so I was gonna take my car in to the dealer for the s/c shutoff, hoping for a new pump, but pretty much the problem will remain. My question is, who can swap my pump out w/ the CM30 and for how much?

I ordered one from LET and my indy installed it for $100.00 -- total cost was $230 (if I remember correctly). BrianS did a DIY guide for the install and I took that with me for my guy to follow. Just do a search on this board for DIY and you will find it-- thanks to BrianS BTW!!!

Congrats!!!! But don't you realize that you jumped from a car with one of the best resale value on the planet to a car with one of the worst resale value?

It is also to be noted that black is the worse car color to take care of. I washed it yesterday and there is a thick layer of dust on it today

Be prepared to have a ready supply of microfiber towels and quick detailer...I put a plasma tv in my garage just because I'm always in there detailing my black cars (3 of them). My wifey thinks I'm crazy...
