I've seen water tight heat-shrink. It's lined in adhesive.
Circuit boards are often potted to protect them from water as well (especially in automotive applications). Water damage to circuit boards isn't usually just the solder joints though, if it gets to the actual copper of the board, it...
Not hard to check the MAP sensor if you have the necessary tools to check it.
Checking the ECU is pretty easy as most of the time the caps will be visually bulging when they're bad (an ESR meter is the best way, but visual inspection is usually enough)
Well, when money is no object *cough*IJ*cough* you can play with with cryo. Most of the time the changes are negligible... at least for the price point (i.e. cryo treated stock rods vs. forged rods)
Experience = knowledge. Posting credentials was just to show where he's coming from.
It's not a "preferance," especially when you're asking about flux, which isn't needed for wires if you're using the proper solder. Also, because of the construction of a circuit board, crimps aren't...
If you checked all the grounds, check the positive side of things.
Doing any of these checks without a multi meter (and the knowledge of how to use it) is a bit pointless though...
Proper crimping pliers make even crap crimp fittings pretty decent.
But yes, most people don't know how to properly solder, and use crap tools/supplies.

Dear Jeff,
I hate you.
:rofl:
Really cool car :) I still think it's odd that the airbox takes air from the "hot" side of the engine bay. Lots of other cars do it to (miata does and it's maddening because it heatsoaks).
Going to keep it stock? Not even a smaller pulley? :D
