It's an act of faith, you just have to believe that it's there! It's under your water pump and behind your crank's harmonic balancer.

Default Before you replace it...

The opti..as you have been told is under the damn water pump! It is a royal pain to replace and it is not really something that needs replacing as much as it needs to be done away with. I suggest and have bought the Delteq unit. It is easy to do, works like a charm and the guys at Delteq are sooooo helpful. Go to www.optispark.com and you can read all about it. It is a little expensive, but you will never have to replace it again. I would also suggest that you consider having the water pump upgraded to a Mezzaire electric.

Go fast

Ya think? I had no personal knowledge to draw on re/ forced induction but I just can't see any additions to the engine compartment making these things any easier to work on!
