Wow, awesome jetjock!!!
An answer and some reading. :)
Clamps are being replaced and the hose is coming in on Thursday. Do I really need to change out the coolant? The coolant will be drained and refilled with new coolant anyways, but it seems odd for new coolant to be bad already. :dunno...
I think you need to spend some time reading and learning before you do anything further.
I can't tell you how much time I'd spent on here reading the tech threads BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT MY FIRST SUPRA!!!
Seriously dude.... READ THE INFO THAT IS ALREADY HERE!!!
Posting threads to get a one word...
Just because you reused bolts wouldn't necessarily cause you to lose compression on a few cylinders.
There was a thread just a few weeks/month back that went over this whole re-using of the bolts and IJ and a few others I thought said they were good to be reused unless someone had torqued the...

Just watched the whole thing while doing homework. Talk about motivation... I'll never complain about homework again.
I could easily snag 5 extremely meaningful quotes from that lecture.
First hand experience both driving and riding in CRE's N/A here! :)
It pulls hard. If I can end up with a reliable N/A as fast as his, I'll be perfectly happy.

This pic is from my phone, so excuse the poor quality.
WTF is going on? How can the hose do this? The hose is being replaced asap, but what would cause this? I can't understand how...

I'll be replacing it with a toyota hose...
Because I'm a college kid with little money and I lack(ed) a lot of mechanical experience to trust myself with a turbo motor.
I plan on running this N/A to its death, whenever that may be.
I feel MUCH, MUCH more comfortable working on these even after only 7 months. Hell, I've taken care...
You *can* do it with just yourself if your jump up onto the car and heve at it.
