Sadly I'm hoping it'll snow tonight and thinking about taking a day trip up to the snow. My Grandma passed a few days ago and just need to get away somewhere peaceful for the day

Rainy days are always good days to clean the interior though!

Stopped by FLI to get some road tuning done. Can't say enough about Miles and his attention to detail, truly a great tuner. Wastegate issue, solved.

Sorry, that was too vague. The original tune was 250, and I had that done a few weeks ago on the dyno. Took me a week or so of driving to notice a bit of wastegate flutter @low rmp, which is specific to my conservative driving habits. After having the wastegate actuator arm tightened all the way, the issue still persisited. Miles spent 40 minutes or so driving around with me, making real-time adjustments to the map to fix the issue. He even gave me some accessport pointers on how to detect low quality gas
