Got a call back from the shop - need a new hood latch cable - front one snapped. $320CAD with labour. That's what I get for trying to jerry rig it with zip ties after I snapped it when I installed the intercooler four years ago. Positive is that it held up this long.

Sorry if TLDR, you can't source and install a new/used latch cable assembly yourself?

That's like $50 US. Not too bad. Is that the same shop that does $200 clutch jobs?
No, Salami. It's $241.53 - more than said Mexican clutch job @Subliminal will pull the trigger on.

Failed socialist society
Pipes are in
Not a hard job, but a pain in the ass. Learned why I couldn't get the s rews out of my put sensor earlier. One was a t20 and the other was so corroded that it snapped in half when I removed it now.
Haven't driven it yet. Will do so later. I'm off to Texas for the weekend for work. Then I come back, change oil, load Diggs tune and start the party.

You ever get that misfire figured out?
Nope. Tuning it with @Diggs24 shortly to see if that makes a difference.

Was this just because new parts are nice and shiny looks good, or is there some benefit to charge pipes I'm not aware of with bigger turbos/higher tunes?
With a hybrid you get anywhere between 5 to 10hp. Is38 and below no point. It wasn't the pipes themselves. The hoses to my intercooler from the pipes were starting to give. Canadian winters to a number on rubber and other parts. Replacementt hoses were a pile of cash and I got these pipes used for pretty much what just hoses would have run me.
