Thought about selling the kit, but its time for me to move on
Intercooler fuse? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the intercooler is merely a heat exchanger. Are you saying that a pump fuse blew? I'm unfamiliar with the Stillen SC kit, but I can only conjecture that the water pump that circulates water through the intercooler blew its fuse and stopped working. Would that be correct? I don't understand how that would lead to a loss of lubrication though.

I don't check my oil that often. I change it more frequently than recommended and call it good as long as temps are good. I think I'll be checking a little more often however, if anything to get myself into the habit of doing so. F.I. is my goal, so good habits are gonna save my car I have a feeling...
