OEM I wouldn't put a Fram filter of any type on my worst enemy's vehicle :nono:

Better hit him up on that offer, a shit ton of time and effort went into making that piece. His version of a targa brace is the best I've seen thusfar.

You may want to look into another brand of DP if you want a full 3" exhaust. The 2.5" will reduce your power down some versus a full 3". How much power will you loose? Hard to say, stock boost, somewhere between 10-15HP if you've got a full 3" after the DP probably...

Never hurts to have additional reinforcement though ;).

The test is basically used to see if the aluminum head has gone soft (usually on the exhaust side, rear ports) due to an overheat, if it has, start sourcing another head. This is the very first thing you should have your machinist do is test for this, if it's soft, it's junk. Don't spend a...

Just an FYI, you're running over 7 psi is you're anything BUT stock ;). I have the synapse synchronic also, I was the first to put one on a MKIII IIRC, still haven't had an issue with mine, works better than the HKS SSQV I had on it previously (it didn't surge or anything, just wasn't my...

Do you have any sensors unplugged, such as the AFM sensor??

The first poster to your concers made targa braces for a long time, he dubbed them "WeezLWings". You may want to consult with him on these to get a good idea on what to expect when fabbing them up and how well they actually sell.

That's odd... IIRC stock height is 116 even, you sure there wasn't some debris on the surfaces where you were measuring? sounds like that head is untouched as far as even being resurfaced. Get it hardness tested first.

:werd:

That's just... wrong :nono:

What site fuzz? I've been getting about 500K/sec download rates so shouldn't take too long to get a movie, or two, five, twenty ;).

Yes, a composite gasket is going to be much more forgiving to an uneven head/block. Just as Ian said, keep the boost to a minimum to get you by. BTW, I NEVER post "bhg" unless I mean it, it wasn't a joke ;).

Don't you mean "semi-retired"? I do recall you posting that up one time ;).

In other words, "if you throw enough money at me, I MAY consider making one for you." ;)

Bhg.

The one that's one right now is what I'd say Ian's talking about, but if I were you, I'd go ahead and check the one that you're getting ready to put on, just to be safe ;).

40 psi on stock 440 injectors maybe, but not on 550's! That's a lot of fuel you're squirting into the motor. Do yourself a favor and do this first, it takes 3 minutes tops. Don't put your new spark plugs in until you do what John suggested. You risk fouling out those expensive, brand new plugs...
