    I couldn’t find that in the Bentley manual or here. A search showed unmetered air after the compressor. Have you checked the boots on your intercooler?

    The panels came out super sharp.

    That’s how it all starts. You go start it, sit behind the wheel, rev the motor and before you know it your on the road:D

    Love the photo. How did you get the whole car to balance up on that one jack stand? :D

    I had an 84 380SL (wife's car) it was a. nice car. The only thing that was hard for me to get used to was the steering wheel position. It never felt right ,but the wife loved it so who cares.
    You know that made me think about how many cars my wife has had.

    For a sec there, I thought you had your tires jacked. Even while rule #1'd (parked next to another MINI).

    Thanks for the link! Although my wife won’t be happy. She doesn’t want me getting attached

    So, just to follow up, I believe I have solved the problem, no more P1498. I replaced the Intercooler boots, Throttle Body gasket and tightened the bolts that hold the right hand Intercooler horn to the Intake manifold since I had it off recently to replace the bypass valve. After a long test drive yesterday, no code, no lights! I'm glad it wasn't the Supercharger inlet pipe, because that's not an easy replacement!

    Years ago when my daughter was in high school she told me that she had run over something in the road. She said that all she saw was staples all around
    the tire. Long story short guess what that cost me.
