The only page I'm on is the Mk3/Mk4 parts / technical help page Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Hopefully I will be able to get some money off the person I bought it off of, seeing as it was in this shape when I first bought it. Doubtful, as its been months, but oh well. Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

So, to expound on this a little more. I believe all this turbo needs are new bearings. It is a lot tighter than my factory turbo, and comes to an abrupt halt when you give it a good spin. It also will stop spinning at idle, and even giving it a flick with the engine running will only result in...

Yeah, that was one of the first things I checked after seeing 4 psi of boost. But it was closed at idle and it took about 7-8 psi to open it. With that being said, I put my old turbo back on, and performance is restored. Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Checked boost pressure today.. 4.5 psi peak, dropping to ~3 psi around 4.5k rpm. No boost leaks... No pre turbo exhaust leaks. Turbo swap time!

On the tranny. Do you have abs? Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Looks like the rear speed sensor to me Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

I know lotus did the suspension, and then Toyota decided that the bushings were too stiff and basically ruined the handling lol Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

No mind reading was necessary, I think we're all thinking the same thing. ;D Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

That's why I really don't have a problem banging the rev limiter on my rebuilt 7mgte. He obviously had other problems with the engine if running it through the gears blew it up. Something tells me this was a long time coming. Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Give us moar!!!! Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Oh dear LORD. You put seafoam through the INTAKE, not in the OIL, drove the car around, then raced it around, and complained that your car got rod knock and start pointing fingers at everyone but yourself? Grow the hell up, the world doesn't revolve around you. Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Wow... This thread is ridiculous. Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Uppers were the easy part. I could have them out and new ones in In 10 minutes. Lowers, if I were to do it again, would be going to someone with a press Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

No exhaust leaks, and bolts are tight. What I'm planning on doing is buying a rebuild kit and rebuilding one of my spare Turbos with the help of my dad and putting that on in place of the 57 trim. Plus replacing all turbo gaskets. Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

No adjustment left is different than no adjustment. Get a tape measure out and figure out what's wider than it should be lol Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Don't port match the exhaust as there's a reversion dam and port matching gets rid of it. Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Plug gap is at .030. And wouldn't that cause spark blow out rather than just a general lack of power? Sent from my HTC Droid DNA

Yes, I checked the timing because of this issue. With the stock ct it would boost fine, albeit 6 pounds and it was kind of slow. So I checked for boost leaks and found none, and the turbo was blowing oil so I replaced it with a 57 trim. Didn't fix the issue, and it seems sluggish. No turbo...
