So you're saying if I were to post links to the '00-04 wiring diagram (also likely similar if not identical to the '99 cars), or to the 98 cars' wiring diagram, or to the 850 wiring diagram, that'd be okay?

Thats why I always try and do everything myself - I've been stung like that too many times.

...You mean turbo charged cars require a different oil that naturally aspirated ones? Generally....turbo engines should use full synthetic oil because of a turbo(it will last longer and will have better lubrication in all conditions). Non-turbo can use regular oil,semi-synth or full synthetic...wha...
