Been a long time since I posted on here, but I have much news!
The Forge bypass valve came in, along with the solenoids and vacuum hose. Replaced the solenoid, vacuum hoses and dug back into the inlet side of the turbo and replaced the bypass valve.
The CEL for the misfire has been corrected. I threw on a "cold air"/open air intake for the 93SS and the noise it produces when the throttle plate is closed is wonderful. People turn and look. Sounds similar to a blow off valve without the rich and useless conditions of a blow off valve.
After this, there isn't much left mechanically for the car.
Replaced the ignition coil for cylinder #2 since that was giving me the misfire code. There's only 1 type of coil for this car that works. All the rest are rip off's.
The incorrect air flow is for the "SAI": Secondary Air Injection. It's an electrical air pump (lies under the starter, forward of the engine) that pulls from the stock airbox into aft of the first catalytic converter on the downpipe off the turbo. It's intent was to reduce emissions upon initial startup until the O2 sensors noted the EGT's were up to minimum. It was inly fitted to 2003 and the 2008 facelift and up. Utterly useless. I don't have emissions testing where I live either, so I just ignore this. Totally useless and not worth replacing. A TechII is required to bypass it. No way to remove it. It can be bypassed by setting the startup parameters of the pump to some rediclous external temp, say 1000°F or so. If it can't turn on, it won't throw a code. If you have enissions, you'd need the TechII for this change.
