I had to go back and shoot some of the pics.. I didn't think to document the install until I already had the engine cover off.. 
I'll create a .pdf and ship it with the AOS's I sell.

Clean engine: Zep then wipe it down. I use brake clean on the engine case/throttle body/oil cooler. Try to keep the brake clean off the plastic. It will discolor it!! Took a whopping 4 minutes.
I have this weird issue of cleaning things before I work and after.

I have to agree, what a great diy. I wish I had those instructions about a month or two ago. I spent too much time trying to remove the AOS itself, because I did not know to remove the sensor bracket. So i paid a shop to do it for me.

Honestly? if it wasn't for the DIY writeup, I would have YANKED really hard on it and broke the bellows while removing it. I'm not going to reuse ANY of the old AOS? so why be careful?
I see people being "careful" to remove their old wheel bearings!!!  Why? You want to save it for a rainy day??  If the piece you are removing is JUNK, then treat it as such. You are going to throw it away!

Thanks for the great article on AOS are spec racers using the modified versions of the AOS?
Second Question have you shut of your TC and if so how was that achieved plus disconnecting the TC override. I tried taking the fuse out but that also cause the ABS to stop working.
Thanks
