so today i wanted to get rid of my CEL. well it turned into a hell of a day.
i couldnt sleep again last night, so around 4am i decided to take a nice peaceful drive to my hall and check in. stopped by advanced auto to pick up my knock sensor i ordered. got home, made myself some eggs and let the car cool down a bit before i start doing anything. i go outside and it took me all of like 3 mins to change it. i wasnt expecting it to go so smoothly.

i then decided to replace the purge valve to since that was giving me a CEL. i had an extra so i used that.
heres the stock location

now the task to get to this sucker is retarded. i was feeling motivated so i decided to try and put my tdo5 on and the 3" tbe i have lying around.
so i pulled the stock exhaust off

i tried using the turbo without a tmic cause the one i have needs a bpv. in the end, it didnt work.

i relocated the purge valve to the top of the intake manifold for easier access next time.

I decided to put my STI CF strut on while i was at it.

after all that, it was still kinda early. so after getting the DP on i was just about to put the catback on and then decided to swap out the sway bar since the exhaust is out of the way.
