Installed the new bypass valve last weekend and all seems well again. I got two of the three nuts with a straight extension, the third required a swivel. Magnetic sockets helped avoid dropping nuts under the charger. Overall job was well under an hour and not too bad. I second the other member that mentioned the studs on the bypass were al dente pasta, it's hilarious how soft the metal is. Over torquing them would be easy and a bad day.
Went a few weeks without driving the car and I quickly forgot just how fast it is. Not a dragster by any means, but 330whp in this platform is no joke. Somehow my stock clutch is still holding up, although occasionally it'll slip a slight bit on the highway in 6th at low ish revs. Holds power just fine at the road course in 1st-5th.
