    20" of vaccum at idle????

    It can take that long to build full boost, 1st is just very quick and has relatively low load conditions. Vacuum sounds healthy to me as long as its not bouncing around in any weird fashion. Which gauge to believe... well neither are very good... but I would hope the Faze would be more accurate.

    Oil pressure! How much is TOO much?

    LOL, you're under max spec by a LONG shot at 3000 RPM. My question is, you replaced your turbo 300,000 miles ago? How many miles are on this thing!? ;)

    My new Mod(not a go fast part)

    OK, all I really have to say is: To all those who continually say that radar detectors are useless any more, or in this situation, that situation... you're full of it. Learn how to use them and you'll see that they are certainly useful all the time. Laser, K, Ka, X... whatever.

    Different size tires?

    Those are the alternate tire size for the stock wheels. I run that size winter tires, IIRC its recommended in the manual. (just expanding on what Jeff Lange said)

    If you had 20 some odd grand.. mk4 or mk3? or mr2?

    Atom FTW! But, I think you underestimate the cost. A really bad ass one is going to run nearly $60,000.

    Extreme tire overinflation before mounting on car

    I do think their service is very good, from the person who answered the phone (actually spoke english properly) to the lady that decided they were going to send me a new tire. I didn't ask, they just called me back and said they were going to send a new one. Interesting bit of info... didn't...

    Extreme tire overinflation before mounting on car

    Well, not that I don't understand what your saying, since I've mounted tires before. But it says right on the tag not to inflate past 40psi to "pop the bead" so to speak. Either way, I probably would have been OK with it after a test drive just to make sure it didn't feel funny; but Tire Rack...

    Woo! Head Gasket Boom Boom! Yeah!

    Not to be offensive, but it doesn't sound like you have read through the process in the TSRM before. I highly suggest reading it all the way through before you start so you know what you're in for. This was judged by your not knowing what a 10mm hex socket was for. (Head bolts)

    Extreme tire overinflation before mounting on car

    Yea, I'm in NSB for like... another week. Then I'm moving back to Jersey unfortunately. I got a call back and they're going to be sending me a new tire for tomorrow... just really blows my mind how someone can fuck up something as simple as mounting a tire, lol.

    Extreme tire overinflation before mounting on car

    Hey everyone, I recently recieved a set of mounted wheels/tires from Tire Rack and before I installed them I checked the pressure in each. 36, 36, 36, PEGGED (check again on different guage) 85. So, thats about 50% over the max pressure rating on the tire, there is no physical deformation of the...

    If you had 20 some odd grand.. mk4 or mk3? or mr2?

    Not to burst your bubble... but a lot of the current owners screw up, rig, and break just as much as anyone in the car's past has.
