No offense taken. Hey, I try to do as much as I can myself, too. Wish I had your can-do attitude and level of skill to take on major projects. Most I can handle is a little more than pretty basic stuff, but that does take a big bite out of maintenance and repair costs. This forum has been a huge help, giving me the confidence to take on projects I might not normally have tried, and saving me big $$$.

If you saw what was involved with the IMS retrofit, you'd definitely have a greater appreciation for why they limit installations to only a handful of certified mechanics and why it's so costly. Jake clearly sweats the details, which is necessary when engine health is at stake. All the certified installers are probably the same way. Lots of talented people on this forum who probably do have the skills to do the job right with the proper training.
