Ok, I finally tried disconnecting my ISC (I was afraid to before, because I didn't want any wires to break off of the connector, so I procrastinated) I unplugged it while it was idling, and the idle didn't change at all...does this mean that it's toast?
man...i don't know what to say... AFM maybe?
Did you fix the head gasket, and at the same time add all of those mods? If so, I would have waited, and gotten it running w/ stock equipment, then modded it...
luckily, just those wires...nothing else, and everything seems to be working properly (crosses fingers) Only thing that is messed up is that the fan doesn't come on manually anymore...
Today, while I was sitting at an intersection, i noticed some smoke coming from under my hood...well, it was quite a bit...I immediatey turned the car off, got out and opened the hood... to find a bundle of wires under the AFM burning! I didn't have anything to douse the flames with, so I ran...
I have noticed that mine will make a VERY faint flutter when I release the gas while the turbo is spooled...some people on here have said that it's compressor surge...but idk. I tried blowing through it, and it's totally tight, doesn't let any air through... I am trying to get a BOV from...

You are going to need the following things (among others):

•ARP head studs (you can get ARP mains and rod bolts too)
•A can of Permatex Brake Quiet: $5?
•Oil...
I wouldn't use the Ross pistons, I have heard bad things about them, Aaron has them in his car, and when it is warming up, it almost sounds like he has rod knock, but it's really piston slap, because of the Ross pistons, I would use the JE's...
I'm guessing the oil pump always gets replaced whenever you're down there just as good practice..considering if that fails, then all of your time, money, and effort that went into the engine were in vein...pretty self-explanitory I think....
