    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    I have no clue with the shimming, but the cooler idea, where did you get that info. IIRC, the cooler line does not flow 100% of the time, there is a psi release to send oil into the cooler, plus when it does flow, it is not enough for the turbo.

    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    Yeah, but what about: "I have the top adaptor line running into the top of the turbo and the oil pan line running from the bottom of the turbo" It sounds to me as if he took the oil cooler lines and is feeding the turbo with that, but I'm tired so I don't know WTF is going on.......

    wich is the best intake cone filter for mkiii

    The oil from a K&N will mess up the AFM. The AFM (air flow meter) reads how much air is going into the engine. The oil gets on the sensor and gives a wrong reading, and you can not clean the sensor because that will mess it up too. Some people have problems with this and others don't. "ao ia...

    timing dileema?

    Are you sure your plug wires are in the right order, and that the coil pack plugs are in the right order? I want to warn you not to run the car like that. On my last DD, I was in a rush to leave town but thought I would give her a quick tune up. I ended up setting the timing wrong and it did...

    accident... need help/info.

    Haha, no offence. I think I need to reword my last post, after reading it, it seems as though I wasn't agreeing with you. Not the case. I was just agreeing with the others that said it happens else where too.

    accident... need help/info.

    Yeah, I have no doubt people are people, no matter where you live. If you can get by with doing something, people will do it, and think that its "right" as long as they don't get caught. It just seems more out of hand here in the states, but I really wouldn't know. And there seems to be more...
