I hated SAI fix... took TB and intake manifolds out for full access to replace two bad metal valves, whatever they call them, rubber diaphragms were deteriorated into goo. At least I did vacuum lines rigged up to control PSE exhaust valves while driving was there and also cleaned up all intake path and reattached that helmholz chamber thing that was kinda hanging loose...

But now feeling good every time that SAI cycling completes without annoyed by CEL and keeping emission low! Well it did come on once about a year after the fix but luckily it was just a blown pump fuse in trunk.
