McGuires makes a really good plastic polish.

Odd... in Canada they don't even carry the non-synthetic any more. And you were right about the friction modifier, you need to buy that separately still.

PS: the car WILL start and idle fine without the AFM plugged in.

Before doing anything bloody big and expensive, I'd try these: - Port the wastegate hole in the DDP a bunch - Switch to a DP with a single big opening, instead of a separate wastegate pipe. I'm thinking that the turbo backsection has already been ported enough to flow the gas needed to avoid...

You need the PPS hooked up, or it will be hard to steer when you're not moving, and too easy at speed.

Paypal isn't the one ripping you off, selling products that aren't as advertised. How about you focus your anger at the guy responsible?

+1. The speedo and odometer are 100% analog, not connected to the ECU at all.

Yup, +1. $5 part, 15 hours of labor to replace it. :(

No. The head is the side that contains exhaust, so if it were leaking there it would sound like an exhaust leak - tapping or pounding.

He's talking about the wastegate hole in the DDP, not the one on the exhaust housing of the turbo.

Which is why you'll notice that Toyota changed the location of the wastegate port in the middle of the Mk3 production.

There used to be a guy on here that used the spring loaded clip system to mount his exhaust. Seemed to work fine for him. He was only holding on the muffler, though.

If that car was black...

A big black dude carrying a cardboard sign?

Mine is ported, and the ends of those studs have been ground off. Hasn't cracked on me yet. Of course, it's also ceramic coated...

Our valvetrain sucks, IMO. Lots of friction to be found there.

Or just laugh and pretend he's an idiot.

I'll go throw it in the glove box right now... Done. This is me:

Err... you *can* put it on with the engine in, but it's not fun, and you need an extremely small ratchet... I'm pretty sure a couple of the guys here make bock off kits. Try 935 / Driftmotion / NotRice, I'll bet one of them either carries them or knows where to get them.

Actually, I think they do fit. Or you can take off the wastegate and the rear housing, buy a conventional rear housing and a new tubular manifold, and bolt an external wastegate to it. I'm amazed that you're still building boost. Mine won't do that - I tried, when I put it on the first time...
