    I have been battling a slow battery drain for years now that the ole turbo GP doesn't get daily driven. Is there a common place I should start looking? I have been avoiding it because I hate wiring but now is the time to try and figure it out. Thanks for any advice.
    Current = Turbo, E85, XP, and Tengis Tune

    Old = L36, ported Gen3, IC, XP, Stock Heads, E85, Headers, and Tengis Tune

    Can't say that I know of any "common" places to look. If you do a parasitic draw test, that will isolate the circuit it's on. That will narrow it down a lot. Then go from there.

    Otherwise, it's just a needle in a haystack.

    I find the most common things on any car are aftermarket components installed into cars. Using the above method is the best way to isolate the issue. Keep in mind some car lots install tracking systems and all sorts of aftermarket immobilizer sto make sure the bill is paid. Some are pretty well hidden.
