I fixed my pressurizing cooling system a couple weeks ago, turns out I really needed to retorque my headstuds... I never did that, and ever since, the car has been ROCK SOLID!!! Even turned the boost back up to 15 and been pretty hard on it, even with a new rev limit of 7200!!
But I almost died the other day, or wrecked the car... the steering linkage snapped and I lost complete control of my steering while on a scenic cliff road in my town.
Check out the video, and I will get pictures of the steering linkage!
First on the list is to get power steering functioning again before the car hits the road. Last year the rubber flex disc broke and I fixed that, but this actually broke the aluminum steering shaft between the firewall and the rack and pinion.
Video: **** NSFW lots of swearing during the examination of the break, it was a pretty freak accident that, really freaked us all out... we weren't pressing very hard around the cliff corners but even if it broke at a normal speed, the amount of time it took to react, I wouldn't have been able to save it.

Be careful out there, this was the last thing I ever expected to happen.
