    Stupid Question About Installing BstC

    I'm about to install a BstC boost controller. This will probably make me sound like an idiot, but, when the installation instructions refer to the "EPROM," where exactly is that located? Is it the plug under the radio pod?

    Reinstalling Oil Pan

    When reinstalling the oil pan, how important is it to put back the clip that holds the transmission line on the front passenger-side oil pan bolt? I'm having a lot of trouble getting that clip onto the stud that comes off that bolt, and the lines feel pretty secure/solid without it. Thanks.
