The boost cutting and ticking noise it makes, as well as the fact that my car thinks any day over 90 degrees is actually -40 degrees, those are more serious

if it's just the temperature reader that shows for you being faulty

that isn't an issue

if the car is registering air temp to the ecu as that, that could be an issue

an obd reader would give you a live show of what the ecu is reading

I may rent one.

But yeah I think it is actually doing that.

The whole car goes wonky when it does

Boost cuts (I can actually hear the blow off valve go off, and then the turbo gets quiet for the rest of the drive), and the AC turns off.

honestly, not worth renting, mine cost like $10 off amazon and works great

find someone who has one and will let you borrow it, honestly if you have a friendly garage nearby it wouldn't surprise me if they'd do it free

but it would be better to have one if your car is going into some sort of limp mode

Provided I can even get it to do that.

It isn't doing it reliably

Since I installed my SRI a few days ago, it has done it exactly twice.

And after specifically trying to get it to do so, it refuses to.

has it only done it since the sri?

Nope. It's been doing this since I got the car

Would have turned me off from it but with my budget it was the best option lol

weird

A lot of shit on this car seems to be made out of rubber, so it seems to start getting eaten away after about 75k miles

Like the PCV valves.

Both rubber

And the engine has a habit of eating them. Literally they get ingested into the intake and eaten

Pick up the metal universal PCV from AutoZone or wherever

I might just do that.

It's past the warranty date anyway

does your car have a timing belt?

I don't believe so.

A few people pointed it out in the comments, but this really isn't very accurate

In a country like America, which has massively open roads, the vast majority of it unlit at night with cars a far distance from each other, red turn signals are preferable

It's not ambiguous. I see blinky from right hand side, I know it's turning right. Easy peasy.

Exactly

From a long distance, a hybrid brake/signal light is far safer

Hell, I've seen practically *white* signals from 'yellow' lamps (Lookin at you Honda/Acura)

I've been thrown off more than once by cars with yellow turn signals.

I literally could not see them because the car was braking

well that's weird, because I've never had that problem

Some cars are worse about it than others. Also depends on conditions, etc.

well yeah, hence it seems like a rather circumstantional issue
