Post what you have checked. Could be as simple as a radiator cap. Most likely a air pocket in the lines after the swap.

Been a while since i have posted on the forums but after watching the video i have never seen that before. I personally would check fuel pressure. try the 12v relay mod to the fuel pump or even better pull the fuel line at the rail route it into a container. then jumper the fuel pump from the...

Stumble sounds like a afr issue. Not sure about the tach being off.

If you start the engine and the pedal goes mush your brake booster is failing. I forget the name but there is a valve that opens up to allow engine vacuum to suck on the booster... that valve is bad.

New clutch master cylinder installed... Hey my reverse works again!

Wait so the Mercedes tech couldnt figure out why the lower radiator hose is cooler then the top one? Did i read that right? Having your radiator heat up inconsistently or one half hotter than the other could cause overheating issues. I dont think it would cause any of your other symptoms but it...

Any kind of performance car should never have the rotors resurfaced, they will heat up and warp faster. If the rotor was hard to turn your caliper could have seized, might need to rebuild it.

No its not "you live and you learn". Not when you put other peoples lives at risk doing it. The streets are not your track, your not the best driver in the world. Anyone that has that philosophy still has a lot to learn in this world.

I have been hand cuffed but never been to jail. Im smart enough not to stick around.

Living in southern California i see wreckless driving almost daily. Mostly by little honda guys trying to show off. I will admit that i speed and drive stupid at times but i do it in the mountain on a publicly closed road. If go over 80mph on the freeway its at 2am and there is nobody else in...

I dont really care for racing anymore, too many tickets/crashes. I just love driving a mk3. I think it would be awesome to have 700+ hp but i also like that i never really have to downshift to go up a hill. Some honda was messing with me on the highway the other day, goosed it in 5th at 60 and...

I guess i should restate my previous post. Its a good power band for the track i just wouldnt drive it around town. I like not having to rev the crap out of my motor to get going.

I would be afraid of it too, back end break loose when you finally boost? Big power but how does it do on the street with that horrible power band?

Did you prime the oil system before startup?

+ lex afm and 550's and you will be happy with that power for a long time. Welcome to the game/headache.

I see your point. Still weird that i can break the tires loose in first when boost hits but can barely boost at all in fourth. I would think the clutch would slip somewhat. Whats stock clutch setup good for power wise?

In 1st through 3rd gear i can go WOT with 14 psi boost no problems. 4th and 5th though my clutch slips before i even hit 10 psi. Doesnt make sense to me as first gear should produce a lot more torque then any other gear. Am i missing something?

The bird cage light on the left side? Its just a float if i remember correctly, clean it. Inside the coolant res.

Use a dmm and check for signal to the injectors. The ecu provides the ground path which fires the injector. If you have power to the injectors but still not firing then check the igniter. The efi fuse protected your fuel pump and maybe your ecu. But the igniter is on a parallel circuit. It...

I dont know the specs but if the ecu detects multiple hits from the knock sensor in a set amount of time it will trigger a cel. The cps will be your missfire indicator.
