    I haven't had any vibration problems or anything. I've got some
bracing to install just for some added peace of mind, but I haven't done
it yet. I've run the A/C quite a bit over the summer.

   I didn't have any problems there, no.

   I put my IAT sensor in my air hat. For a vacuum tree, I designed my
own (with input from a CNC shop). Its basically a piece of aluminum with
NPT barbs screwed into it. I'm planning on including it in the MPI kit,
or if anyone is interested, I suppose I could sell it seperately also.
Originally, I used a vaccum tree that Bill found, which was originally on
a Ford. I designed my own though because I wanted a renewable supply
and its always nice to have shiny, new parts. :-)
