    FedEx/UPS delivery question...

    Both deliverers just leave the package at the door. UPS is nice enough to ring the doorbell, drop it, and leave. By the time you get to the door he's driving down the street. FedEx just leaves it with no warning. Kinda like Santa Claus. They both do this wether you're home or not. My...

    Breather filters on the PCV locations? What about the ISC valve?

    The accordian hose has two provisions. One for the PCV line and one for the ISC valve line. I'm running a T4 on an ebay manifold and will be running a MAP ECU deleting the AFM. I'm not going to have provisions for neither line. I think I'll just run a couple of breather filters on the...

    Some craigslist buyers are incredibly cheap.

    I listed a childs bike seat we no longer use for $25. I think it's a reasonable price as I've had plenty of people interested. Only all of them want to lowball me. Not only that they want me to meet them halfway to their home to sell it. I recently had this guy in Austin want me to meet...

    What have you guys done for oil feed and return for your T4 turbo? What size lines? Are you running a restrictor? I'm not trying to break the bank on some pretty lines. I want something functional, and reasonable in price. Thanks for any advice.

    T4 turbo to manifold stud question.

    Can I use studs and nuts like this to mount the turbo to the manifold? The stud will pass through the turbo and thread through the manifold. Will it hold, or just shake loose after time? Would I need to get bolts that would thread through the bottom of manifold up, and mount the turbo on top...

    Fuel pump & line questions..

    I'm in the market of buying a Bosch external 044 pump. I see that it's recommended to run these inline between your intank pump, and fuel rail. What if the stock pump dies? Will your flow rate to the fuel rail lower? If you have your car tuned to a certain flow rate and suddenly it drops...

    I went to my friends shop and used his blast cabinet. I dumped out his Lowe's bought play sand, and bought a 50lbs bag of #6 glass bead. The reason why I bought this is because I was cleaning some aluminum parts, and the rep at the store said playsand will be harsh on those parts. He...

    I'm getting my head flowed this Monday. What is our stock lift? How much of a lift should I have them test it? Where do they normally begin.... .100 lift? Initially I was thinking 9.5mm cause I'm not planning on going over that. I can't afford to do the shimless bucket conversion just...
