Yeah I've resorted to riding the bike until it rains. Unfortunately the pollen has been getting on the car when the garage door is open at all. Freaking sucks. Oh well guess I'll be cleaning her again this upcoming weekend.

lol ya no ****. petty cool if u think about it. if i understood what they are doing correctly, small hotside for low end torque, and bigger hotside for top end power.
however, i think porsche has the latest and greatest turbop tech on thier new 911. havent found much on it yet.

Not sure, but i've got another one to use for now

I think a different box blew though, and i have one of those now as well.... so i will know tonight if the car turns over. Then after that it will be praying my HIDs are still good and replacing whatever bulbs in the car are no longer working and hopefully getting what is left of my fog light bulbs out of my housing lol.

I dont honestly know. What i think is this...

My ground wire to my battery may have not been making good contact and therefore the system was getting hot and couldn't handle the current. Overcurrent caused a lot of heat, a lot of heat caused a lot of stuff to blow and melt which then eventually fried important things

I have since replaced a lot of things that may have caused the problem in order to prevent future occurences. Now tonight, i will replace the main component i believe is damaged, measure some voltages and secure a few things and with that, hopefully problem solved. I will know tonight and you know i'll post it up
