learn something new every day :icon_razz

makes logical sense, you're increasing the cylinder volume slightly

:yelrotflm glad you realized before you did any major damage

here's a way to make a home-made boost leak tester if you can't find anything by snooping around - http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19718&highlight=boost+leak+tester

nothing against your girlfriend, but if she's anything like mine, you didn't even have to mention the snow :icon_neut

i wasn't aware there was any difference? if anyone knows otherwise I'm also curious.

think this is easier than the spray-on tint? Looks like it would come out more even.

I also had to learn the hard way :3d_frown:

sounds like a boost leak to me. Even though you replaced the section with the BOV, check to see if you have a leak elsewhere in the intercooler piping. this would cause your car to run rich since metered air is now escaping and not making it to the engine.

wow that's a clean install :love:

i'd love to see some pics of how it turned out!

here's a good page on vacuum hose reduction http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4193&highlight=vacuum+reduction A lot of stuff such as the charcoal canister, egr system, etc can be removed if you are not concerned about emissions.

I would ban myself from the forums if I really did that :nono:

As long as you know how much was taken off the block and head, just pick the hg that will give you as close-to-stock compression as possible. For example, if you took a total of 3mm of material off the block and head, add 3mm to the stock gasket size to get the new gasket thickness.
