Kevin, who regularly gets 98 to 99 percent on expert drums in Coheed and Cambria’s “Welcome Home”, put that theory to the test in a recent epsiode of G4’s Attack of the Show. He met with Coheed and Cambria and substituted for the real drummer!

As Tim mentioned, best bet right now is a machine shop... Now, I have no idea how I will be able to get it to one with the hours I work. Is there a machine shop near anyone's work or home?

Wheels
Suspension (when i get it)
HFC (when i get it)
Hopefully that is it, for a while. I am very excited to just drive and enjoy the car. I cant wait to see what the car can do after the tune. I think it should be pretty interesting.

Edit: you will have to wait until after she is tuned though so maybe you will see what a lightly modded, nicely tuned evo feels like and change your mind about modding

most people say to work from the end of the exhaust towards the motor, i went the opposite way and it weems to be working really well. You already have the K&N. The o2 housing and DP will probably give you the biggest gains for the money.

Dude, pop the car up in the air and tighten your sensor/angle fittings. All of those threads are 100% correct (i.e. no NPT crossing with BSPT) so I am thoroughly shocked that there's a leak. If, in fact it is leaking form the wires, then your sender is borked, but I doubt that is the case. Whatever you do, don't take out any of the fittings or you're gonna dump 5 fresh quarts on your floor.
As for the Y fitting: I'm not exactly sure whether you have 1/8 NPT or 1/8 BSPT threads on the Defi sender... I actually think its BSPT for the pressure gauge and NPT for the temp sensor, in which case you will not find a Y adapter. In the event that they're the same, then you'll need a Y from 1/8 NPT to whatever the sensors are. And yeah, it's brass. You really should search on what type of sensors you have. I believe the Defi site lists them, but I know I've seen a listing on this site before, because that's how I picked out the appropriate sensor/plug for my own setup.
As for the MBC: I did it on my own, in the parking lot of my apartment complex, in about an hour. It's pretty easy to tackle, as I've already shown you the hoses you need to access. Rip those off, all the way back to the boost control solenoid and throw them away. Attach the Hallman to the Waste Gate Actuator and the Turbine Outlet (right next to each other) according to the directions. Mount the controller and you're good to fly.
[FYI] I put all of my remaining vacuum line in your car for the boost gauge so you'll need to pick some up for the MBC [FYI]
The High-flow should be cake, too...24k mile, not winter driven?!? you should be fine, I wouldn't worry at all. I can shoot you the O2 sensor tool if you need.
