    Bic divorced Downpipe

    i did not have any fitment issues at all. straight botl up. no probblem except the wide band bung is against the heat sheild. dont need that yet though. still BPU. seems to spool about 222-2300 rpm. but will the Bicc pipe work better then that? the Bicc looks to be biuilt abit heaveir.

    injector 1 and 6 not firing

    if you have an early mk3 86.5-88. check the resistor pack for the injectors. its on the drivers side fender. there are 3 resistors in the pack each one wired to 2 injectors. if one burns out 2 injectors go dead. they are part of a grounding system so you would still show power.(12volts).

    DDP - To recirc, or not to recirc.

    thanks doward for clearing that up. it should be said that bigger turbo exausts improve power by reducing back pressure and also tend to improve spool up of the turbo.

    odd bearing wear pattern

    has anyone noticed that the center main bearing, the one with the thrust bearings on the side, shows more wear than the rest of the main bearings? i've torn down 3 7m's so far and everyone of them has had the same thing. is this just bad luck or a common item with the 7m engine? all the engines...

    DDP - To recirc, or not to recirc.

    the whole idea of a ddp is that your not blowing exaust gasses from the waste gate across the path of the exducer flow of the turbine. thus the flow doesnt get disrupted. velocity is your friend with a turbo exaust exit. so much so that the stock size waste gate port cannot bleed off enough...
