Maintenance check

cross posted.

stage 1, 6 spd, maintenance current, 135k, no current codes.. obd11 is useless on my car..

new turbo,

new purge valve,

new gas gascap.

Does great on long drives, but when stopped at a light my idle sits about 800..then for no reason will drop to 500..then slowly back up to 800..its so noticible that is sounds almost like car will stall out... for the mean time i keep rpm at 1k when at a stop.

How do i trouble shoot this falling RPM issue?

need some cosplay picture reference help

headed to Gacucon cruise in 2 weeks and my kid is working to put together his Asta costume. it's coming together pretty good, but he is having trouble finding a good accurate pic of Asta's Grimoire bag.

before we spend hours going through the anime again, does anyone have a good image capture from the anime that we could model after? even if you could tell me a few key episodes to look at it would help. he's tried searching online and too many personalized versions have shown up, none have a reference to the actual anime, he does not trust them.

Thanks in advance

no accountability...passing blame

cross posted because reddit bots are a pain... don't have prime, I can wait a week for a delivery it's not a issue, but the last 3 orders have been delayed for no reason, parts have been listed as "in stock". have screen shots of order when being placed and saying "order within time X and get delivery on day X" then on expected delivery date I get a email saying item JUST shipped out and won't be delivered for another 3-4 business days, 2-3 weeks... last package took 6 weeks literally... when I call "customer service" they blame it on the USPS or the fulfillment center or the drop shipper. i despise having to actually use amazon

N80 purge valve question

just finished replacing my turbo a week ago.. first week of being back on the road everything was going well.. got gas then went to the bank then i hit a HIGH speed bump in a parking lot. hit the bottom of car.. pulled over to inspect for damage and when i turned back on i threw a check engine light.

got home and its throwing P0243 p0441 now. research says its the n80 purge calve or gas cap.. rechecked gas cap..still tight.. but noone locally has a purge valve and i have to order on.. will take a week or so for delivery.

knowing the issue, can i keep driving it? i commute about 250 miles/day so being down a week will hurt financially. any way to bypass temporarily to be "safe" to drive? and temp repair i could make to get by?

this will be 2nd time i replaced purge valve in abput 50k miles

Bundled Boompuppy build help

So i hit lvl 60 like 2 weeks ago on Amon and still had 40% of main story left... finally finished the main story and end game content is unlocked..have 10 skills points unused..and already have 8 pts for specialization..

currently for enhancements im running 2 deadeye and 3 high caliber

really like using firewerks bundled and boompuppy for drill sites and basic playthrough... misslies everywhere is so fun i want to design a build around this

i also swap in explos-ception with sticky shotgun for bosses

i havent read up on specializations yet..

prefered weapons are torgue shotgun with sticky option

maliwan SMG for elemental damage

a combo wombo

looming truck /fixer upper sniper

i choose Amon because he was "tanky" but i really dont like the axes or the punch super..so i stopped activly using the super around lvl 30.

ive tried a few different ordinance pieces and they were just kinda "meh" ... so i really dont use that either

looking for suggestions for a final build centered on bundled and boompuppy with torgue/maliwan weapons.. no emphasis on super or ordinance

i know this isnt the best DPS build and frankly i dont care about that, but this is the best fun build for me and my playstyle so im seeking advice in that regard.

thanks in advance

Banjo bolt woes

trying to swap my OEM turbo with a kit from ECS.. its been a shit show, wont ever buy from them again.. didnt get 1/2 the required hardware .. 3 calls, 2 complaints parts finally showed up and still dont have large crush washers for the "tip" antifreeze banjo bolt..

you are supposed to use 2 crush washers on each banjo bolt correct?

and every connection on every line gets some kind of gasket either paper or metal right??

where can i get properly sized crush washers? ive exhausted all local options..

Door swaps

my 06 xc70 got hit by a deer.. insurance DIDN'T total it thankfully.. managed to find what LKQ said were 04 V70 parts.. got the fender and the front door in matching red

getting mixed online information. they should bolt directly up, just the cladding is different. someone else i spoke too, who hasnt done this swap.. is saying the door internals are all different and the connector is different.

can anyone confirm/deny this..

ULPT: cat deterrents that actually work

state changed the laws and now cats can "roam free" sure no problem.. until they start coming onto my property.. now it stinks like cat piss everywhere and have to watch where we walk because of random shit piles.. have sonic repellants up but they dont seem to be working. have trapped cats and animal control has been called, and returned to neighbors. cats are let loose again. started using essential oils on trees but it wears off fast..

Ethics question

looking to relocate from de to fl, contacted a realtor..had a good conversation explaining our position. she recommended a lender. standard pitch *i always work with her" ""shes the best" blah blah blah.. i get it one business scratches the other.

contacted the lender.. had hard pulls on credit for loan. got financials back.. then WE had to go back to realtor with info. not sure why lender couldnt send directly if the are such "good business friends".

2 weeks after pull..nothing no phone calls..sent 3 emails, no response..then.finally got 1 email a week after 3rd email with prospective houses, said we would be put on a weekly email for available houses.

nothing listed in the stood out to us..and that was in.. no other communication.. from lendor or realtor.. nothing was signed for representation..but they both have all our legal info. i know its a buyers market, but to be ghosted like this is crazy unprofessional. is this what is acceptable now? havent had tp deal with people in the industry for 20 yrs..

obviously i need to find new people to work with, but how long do i need to wait now because of the hard pull? according to the report that we got in the mail i have a 800+ credit score. but it took a hit due to the inquiry.
