Man crisp, you should have put this story in the kills section. You wanted more people to read it though, so you put it in the general section right? :naughty:

IIRC the blocks changed around either in mid '89 or mid '90...

Have checked to see if any engine codes were stored when that happened?

The wastegates don't matter, the auto is a fluid coupling, or "slushbox" they do not put as much load on the engine, hence the turbo doesn't work as hard as if the engine was turning a manual tranny.

At least they weren't +4's ;)

TO bearing? Pilot Bearing?

DOH! There I go, assuming that it's a standard measurement, when it could very well be metric... Damn US trying to be different from everyone else ;)

I see no build thread here? :dunno:

Go get that turbo clocked! ;) Nice build :)

jdub is the SME on motor oils here at Supramania.com

Google it.

I did that exact thing myself, I used a big ass SS filter too. Don't use one people, they let too much shit get by and into your AFM and turbo. I'm thinking that's what caused my impeller fins on the turbo to be chipped and bent...

Like I was saying, the engine flexes with stock motor mounts, he has the beefy pre '89 ones too, but the engine will still move around when revved. Being close at the top like Aaron said and the engine moving some may have caused it to do exactly what it did...

Oh it'll help things stay cooler for sure. You did a good job on the fitment, but for some reason I just don't think the louvers look good, the actual vent going in looks great though. Overall, nice job ;).

*golf clap for a great story*

Powdercoating and ceramic coating are two completely different things. Powdercoating = looks pretty. Ceramic coating = looks pretty, keeps things cool. I can't see the pics bwest, but I have a pretty good idea of what things look like as I've gotten pretty much every component that bolts onto...

In other words, you switch them out, you loose TEMS (if you had it) cruise control, and PPS (if you had that too)?

Why exactly did you bore the engine over by .050"?? There is very little power to be gained by doing this... Read this and you will see

possibly 275's, but I'm not an expert on this...

It's an inside job for sure.
