over-thinking stuff.
The CPS is seriously dead, so I gotta replace that. As for the other stuff, Craig is probably right. The turbo will go for a while. I'm not using much oil, and as for the head, I don't think a disaster is pending. Same for the turbo.
The crummy old 9-3 will work when I need it and I can always just let the old 9K go for a bit and see how it does. I only drive 7500 miles a year so this is not really a critical need.
Sure, I'd like to be pulling the boost gauge to the far end of the red again, but I'm not tracking the car anymore and it's OK if I don't get max performance.
I may leave this all till I get back from vacation. Too much in my head right now....
As Craig noted, a 9K with an Aero suspension and SAS bars is kinda nice and I WILL miss it.
I had a trip to a local client last week and I was doing the freeway at 80-85 and it sure felt good in the old 9K. I kept it under 100, and I'm generally keeping the revs under 4000. Sure still is a lot of tun.
But it's hard to work through the details these days. Too much else on the plate.
