    I should have taken pictures when I did this last night. I'll just do pictures when I install the refurb and put them in reverse order... no one will ever know.

    1. Remove your intake from the throttlebody to clear some room. Not necessary, but helps and only takes a minute.

    2. Unplug the giant plug on the top/middle of the EBCM. Pull the plastic straight toward the passenger side about two inches to unlock it, then pull the plug straight up.

    3. There is another plug underneath the module. To make it easier to get out, remove the plastic wire-holder from the bracket - just yank it out. There is a clip on the bottom passenger side kind of under the module -undo it with a flat head screwdriver. There is a hole underneath it in the bracket you can get a finger into to try to pull it out. If it can;t come out now, it will be easier when you get the screws out of the EBCM.

    4. Using a T-20 Torx screwdriver (yes, screwdriver - it needs to be loooong and skinny - a set of 5 is $10 at Sears), undo the six torx screws. Try not to drop them, since they're kind of tiny. If you can't see the bottom two screws, just rest the screwdriver on the divot in the mounting bracket and poke until you strike gold.

    5. Pull the module straight towards the bumper and wiggle the bottom plug out if you haven't already.

    6. Wrap the module in tin foil.

    7. Put tin foil or saran wrap or, I don't care, a shower cap or something over the nice clean manifold surface to keep it that way. Tape the %$#@ out of it. You want it dirt and waterproof.

    Depending on how much tape you use, this whole process takes like 4 minutes and is super easy.

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
