my intake has a tube coming out of the side that I put a rubber hose on it (sorry for the lack of mechanical skills/terms), if that hose is a little loose would it cause this?

I would say yes it would bolt up. But you would have issues with the transmission computer. It would be looking for a 5 speed auto and the twin turbo is a 4 speed.

What are the best performance brake pads for a LS400 (1990-1992)? I've looked, and can only find good pads for the front... TIA

MegaSquirt3 with expansion board can do that, but it won't give you the warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you buy AEM at 4x the price, though the end product is the same...

The "I am a BAMF" sensation that comes with buying a product from a name brand. Separately, AEM and other standalones will require less customization and figuring out how things work. For every kind of consumer, a matching product.

Really I'm not trying to be a "BAMF".I want something that works.something that won't give me problems.something that I won't have to buy twice.
