Look at the sides of the intercooler. Some had plastic sides that were prone to breaking, causing a loss of boost.

Other than the normal ball joint problems third gens have, that should be it.

Congrats!

If you have the canister mounted fuel pump might give ya fits, plastic sides on the intercooler and the famous front end. other then that, Just get in and turn the key.

05 started the in tank lift pump. no issue to worry about for him. also to note, some 05s and 06s have injector issues as well.
