    Upgraded (almost).. wondering what to expect....

    Like Radiod said-No Lipp AFM without larger injectors. You'll lean out. Use the turbo with the exhaust, and get an elbow. You will like how it feels, and should get at least 2-3psi for free.

    Welp. I didn't want to spend the money, but I'm going to anyway... Next purchase, torque plate from SIP racing. I just don't want to skimp now, and regret it later.

    iamsuprman13's 91' MKIII Build

    Are you using new piston rings when you put it back together? Regardless, I might suggest honing the cylinders just a bit, unless the crosshatch is still very visible.

    Agreed. I suppose that Pauters and Carillo's are at the top of the food chain, but Cunningham/ Eagle will do what we need. I had heard that Eagles should be sized prior to install; perhaps somebody has gotten a few that needed some adjustment. As for slap, I think it's a minor issue with any...

    Project Git 'er done!: Stages 1, 2, 3, 4....Stage 5- Reassembly after 13 years!!!

    I chose Wiseco because A: they were ~$200 cheaper than CP & lighter than Ross, and B: the skirts are coated and the pin bore is offset to reduce piston slap. That part may be true of other pistons out there, but i havdn't heard of any. My power goal is ~400RWHP to start. I am overbuilding this...

    Climate control help

    The problem with the buttons no staying pressed in is due to the individual push contacts inside the unit. They are all topped by a stamped steel sleeve, which holds a spring loaded brass slide bar underneath, which has small tabs which in turn fit into plastic detents whithin each individual...

    A Few Diff Rebuild Questions, Crush Collar?

    I'm pretty sure that all the aftermarket upgrades are steel, not aluminum. The included spacers are used so that you can set the proper preload by incrementally adding to the collars effective thickness(trial and error) till it is correct. It takes a bit of assembly/ disassembly, but you...

    My 88 mk3 work in progress

    Well, I have no problem with big tachs, but a racing tach is supposed to be positioned so you don't have to take your eyes from the road. So, I don't see how this is much better than the factory tach that's directly in front of you.

    Divorced Downpipe vs Bellmouth/Widemouth

    BIC appeared to have proven that a seperated dp is better than a widemouth, because it reduced exhaust turbulence by reintroducing the wastegate gas downstream, rather than having the wastegate and turbine outlet gasses mix directly after the turbo.
