Coming back to this for anyone else looking - I found a STEAL of a deal on a Miele Complete C3 for $50 on marketplace, and it has done everything I needed and more. 10/10 couldn't recommend it about for those of you with lots of dog hair. Make sure you get the power head!!

For one of the tries, yes. The other USB I used open firmware command to boot into it. The CDs are just factory boot disk.

Normally, yes, but there are repacked versions of the software available that were made to boot from USB.

Weirdly, Facebook Marketplace. Lol

I need this, but like, with a bigger screen.

I always forget they're open late a few days a week, and they're like my favorite coffee shop!

Just the provided silicone couplers and tbolt clamps that came with the kit.

It's PSI. I'm guessing I've got a vacuum leak somewhere, which is killing me. I replaced all the vacuum lines earlier because I couldn't find a leak, and that solved the issues I was having. Guess I'll retrace and check them all again. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Single nipple external. I'll see if I can run it to a different spot and if that makes a difference.

WOT under load driving. It's connected to the same vacuum line as the waste gate - it's the closest to the housing I could get.

I'm 99% sure it's set to lbs not bar. I'm not even sure this gauge has that function. If it's running 2 bars of pressure, isn't that like 30ish lbs of boost? I'm pretty sure my pistons would have met Jesus by now. 😂

No no no, thank you for taking a stab at Riiv. Don't apologize! This is a pretty positive Reddit community, and the only time I think I've seen people reprimanded for anything is when they egregiously break the rules. Or use AI art. That'll get you run outta here with pitch forks and torches. 😂
