IwantMKIII- you've got to tread lightly in territories that are unknown to you. this really has nothing to do with boosted engines, but basic mechanical knowledge of how things on ANY motor works. that being said- the code 52 will cause your car to run badly, overly rich, and it will retard...

heh, i remember that punkybooster SN. :) welcome back. -shaeff

yep, i saw it last night too. action packed, and that yippie-ki-yay motherfucker part was sweet. :) -shaeff

drjonez drilled out his stock rail for dual feed, center return. he might have pics up on www.4cefed.com . i don't think the inside diameter of his rail was increased, but i know for a fact that he had dual feed on the sides, and center return. -shaeff

haha, i know he still logs in, too. i just meant that i haven't actually seen him post in a bajillion years. maybe more... and who doesn't oogle Theresa!? ;) -shaeff

yep, he definatly left in february. :( (look when this was posted) -shaeff

no. having it at 0* is going to make the car run like a bag of crap. that's only the base timing you're talking about. (cams and crank). we're talking about ignition timing. just listen to mkiiiman089. he's spot on. -shaeff

Emik- you need to change your sig. it's offensive, and will likely cause problems if people try to log into SM from work. thanks, -shaeff

wow... i haven't heard that SN in a long ass time! -shaeff

origionally i had thought the same thing, but upon practicing on scraps of wire before delving into my wiring harness, i feel that i use no more solder than is absolutely necessary. all my joints are nice and shiny, and show each strand of wire through the solder. i ran an ohm meter from end...

i run the same on mk4 rims, 275/40/r17 rear, and 255/40/r17 front. slight rubbing on full lock, but i adjusted the bump stops to compensate. i'm lowered on konis/eibachs, and still on stock sway bars. my car sticks to the road like glue, and i love it! they're a great tire for sure! -shaeff

these are the wire strippers i have. they work great. grab the wire you want, squeeze the handle, and it will separate the insulation from the wire and push it aside, leaving a nice stripped piece of wire with insulation on both sides just like this: =====----===== (with the thin part being...

ugh. that's ridiculous, doc. absolutely ridiculous, and incredibly frustrating to say the least. -shaeff

matt, i just edited your post to break it up into paragraphs. it makes it easier to read. :) that's one crap story. i won't get into fault... :( though, i've met many cool cops in my runnings around. -shaeff

not at all, will. whenever. it's not like i'm broke ya know! i DO work full time! ;) haha. good deal about the t-fitting. that could be a big problem, especially when concerning the oil feed to the turbo! you know you love the highlighters! -shaeff

it runs like a dream with the throttle held at about 1krpm. it'll stay like that all day long, but there are other issues to work out. (timing, and a fitting on the block seeping oil) -shaeff

sweet deal. :) i should really start a new build thread, as my car is in so many pieces right now it should be considered a build... oh well... -shaeff
