Sounds to me like a throttle position sensor needs adjustment. There are proper ways of doing this but having DSMlink makes it much easier. Have you ever tried raising or lowering the idle via BISS screw?

I seriously doubt it unless you just shoved RTV inside the drain tube and even then I would think it would just be pushed into your pan. Nothing wrong with a little bit of black RTV + a gasket. I do it all the time for good measure.If it really is that much oil going into everything, I would...

Just out curiosity but whyy would you floor it after going through a puddle? You do realize your intake is sucking in air, the higher the RPM, the more air sucking thus sucking in all the water. Either way, sounds like you're going to need a new shortblock, not sure how much you value the car...

I think DSMlink is your next investment to get your car on a reliable tune before investing anything else in parts. Your biggest restriction after that will be the side mount. VRSF makes a great kit that's easy to install however, you won't be able to keep the fog lights. Most people just leave...

Pull your lower timing covers and check the balance shaft belt. I'm willing to bet that is disintegrating. Could also have jumped timing. Doesn't really explain metal shavings though, could be just debris.

I'm pretty sure 136 & 141 are both for the rear o2 sensor which all it does is monitor catalytic converter efficiency. The other 2 are EVAP BS which you don't need. The car will run and function fine with these codes on however you should still check around the EVAP vacuum lines, make sure there...

So it's FWD and RWD, that is insane lol. I wonder how it handles a corner at WOT.

Great but how tf does the drivetrain work?

Wait what.. how.. why?!

I don't see anywhere you stated car is all stock except what you mentioned? As others have said, why are you trying to tune with SAFC on a black box? In fact, if your injectors are stock, FPR is stock, then you shouldn't really need a tune at all. The 255 will overrun the stock FPR to begin...

What injectors are you running? AFR at WOT? What does safc2 "adjustments up and down mean"? Do you know how to work with SAFC? Boost leak tested?

Not getting replies because there is a TON of information on this very subject. 17x9 +35 should fit at stock height. Once you lower, even an inch, you'll probably rub the outer fenders. It also depends on tire, if you go with a 255, you may need spacers so you don't rub on the upper control arms...

You're probably better off ordering a new one because even if you do find someone they probably won't know how to resurface to proper step height. Our flywheels need to be accurately measured.

Yep, difficult especially with no wideband. I would say you could maybe get away with it with a little bit of E85 mixed with 93 to lean out the stock tune but know that you are playing with fire. Otherwise you'll just run pig rich. Get some stock 450's.
