    why am i adding lots of fuel in the top end?

    My "guess" is the pump is laying down on the top end. Check the line from the manifold to the Fpr from memory it goes through a VSV that may have failed.

    would you replace this radiator?

    I would, as much as it hurts that's a failure waiting to happen, and given the potential for massive engine damge on a 7M when you lose the coolant I wouldn't risk it...

    3 Mishi Radiators in a year, all failed the same way; fan blade impact (anyone else?)

    E-brake shoes are the same as a Toyota Sienna 04-08?

    They will have a different radius to the Drum, but with 20+ years of wear in the drum they might be a close fit and work well, drag the brake a bit at highway speeds will bed them in quickly.

    Boost referenced NOT rising rate...... What's your fuel pressure during a pull?

    New Torsen for the MK3?

    Big advantage of the Torsen @ 500+ rwhp is it will accelerate in a straight line even while spinning Dave and won't try to slide down the camber of the road so is much "safer/easier" to drive!

    Too small a line from the Turbo to the Scavenge pump will cause it to smoke as well, ask me how I know this ;)
