    anyone familiar with this intake pipe? fitment, etc....

    Yeah I agree with Td3 very nice indeed but without that FFIM it's a lil more difficult to get proper upper IC pipes. I'm my case I am never satified with anything so I am probably going to have mine custom made.

    what is good type of gear oil to put in my R154 tranny?

    I don't know the weight nor a good brand. Up to knowledge my tranny has never been serviced. Gears feel dry, and can be heard at idle. Could I put Lucas gear oil and something else?

    89 turbo 5spd won't start after an oil change

    Yes I know I was confused by the other guy because he was talking about the screw on the TB yeah I never touched that I only adjust throttle by the screw on the linkage.
