Thanks for saying exactly what was going on in my head. I didnt want to continue nagging, but this whole thread stopped making sense with that whole 'front clip AWD' thing.

Luke, are you sure there was an AWD swap? Or did the car start out it's life as AWD anyway? (Doesn't sound crazy to me). If you can take a look at your gauge cluster for me, and let me know what you see in the bottom left and bottom right gauges, that would ease my confusion. A turbo model will have 2 gauges in each corner, a non turbo would only have one.
