    Pics of my rebuilt motor

    This is all fallacy. Sole purpose of EGR system is an emission control device. Knock and knock retard is facilitated by the knock sensor signal feedback + ecu. What's evident is that often people here (in this forum) overextend and overshadow their knowledge of one subject with the ignorance...

    Home- made EXHAUST SYSTEM ideas??? (no muffler, no cats)

    This is an oxymoron, and just about as equivalent to advertising a huge banner on you car saying "Please Pull Me Over". As strict as the state of CA is in respect to emission devices, I don't think it's a rather wise decision to operate a vehicle that lacks these devices. MHO..

    2 different topics in one thread??

    As for question #2, it's tough to estimate a hp expectation since you made no mention of turbo and induction system? If it's the stock turbo, then possible 300 - 320whp at about 16 - 18psi. Also, FYI the VPC will eschew the need for the FCD ;)

    Just Found - Rear Fender Rust Rot!!!

    OBX AFPR Shit! Do not buy from OBX!

    Replica; Knockoff; Copy; all underscores an important fact; lack of engineering and true development. What the unfortunate consumer receives is a part or product that lacks intrinsic synergy, lacks compatibility, and reliability, and a duplication of imperfections. One or more of these issue...

    where to get a whale tail that actually fits?

    Would trying an "original" be a crazy thought and an aversion? Bomex still list it on their site at a suprisingly reasonable cost: - http://bomexaero.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_76&products_id=589 Not sure about the lead time though..

    Whats the difference with Arps ?

    Did it even occur to you that you could possibly get more technical and accurate information if you perused, browsed, and read the technical bulletins at the ARP website? :dunno: http://www.arp-bolts.com/Tech/Tech.html

    IIRC, Qwikstrike gets ~100psi on cold start and about 40 - 80psi on warm idle and cruise. PM qwikstrike for more info.

    Intentional pun... . Walk over to that very automotive store, "Advance" Auto Parts, and search through their wiper blade application book and you'll find the answer. Don't be a lazy a$$...

    help with hook up greddy informeter

    You're out of luck buddy :(. The MkIII's lack the required port for connecting this unit. The unit is compatible with OBD2 cars, more specially probably 2001 and later. The MkIII's are a "FEW" generations too early.
