I have axis semi metallic ads on mine and like them a bunch.

It will do nothing to the timming. The only thing it will lower is the compression like you mentioned, and the amount of money n your wallet. I don't know what your goals are with your motor, but there are several other gaskets that are much cheaper and willl do a fine job.

Well if the bolts are all off then the gasket is just rusted to both the turbo and the elbow. Like everyone is saying, just smack it with a dead blow hammer or a piece of wood in diffrent places untill it comes off.

Thats my old one that shattered the shaft and sent all kinds of metal into my engine. New one will be a gt4088. Rich has turbo envy....

Guys, don't forget that a compression test must me done when the motor is warm, AND!!! you must have the fuse pulled for the fuel pump. You do not want the injectors spraying fuel into the cyliders during your test because this will raise your compression and give you a false number.

Could also be the gram weight of the pistons, diffrent amounts of material ( even if the same alloy) will expand at diffrent rates.

The answer your looking for is right above. Never try to compare a t series to a gt series spec for spec. A smaller gt will spool faster, make more power, last longer, run cooler, than a larger t- series.

Did you know that that song is also a Disney song sung by an infants toy. Do your ears hang low Do they wobble to and fro Can you tie them in a knot Can you tie them in a bow Can they wipe away a frown, just by flapping up and dowm Do your ears hang Low Eore from winnie the poo Rap...

Damn, we have 94 at the pump here in ohio. Sunoco FTW!

What is wrong with the bolts? Stripped or rust. If rust then heat the bolt red hot with a torch (not enough that you get distortion or puddling of metal) then immediatly try to loosen the nut. Should come right off. What you are doing is expanding the metal and making the nut grow. This pulls...

Antifreeze on the motor and you instantly think it is a blown headgasket? Try looking at the many coolent hoses that run all over the motor. Coolent lines to the turbo, back of the head, to the heater valve, short hose from thermostat to block, coolent hose on the bottom of the throttle body...

Leaded is not too bad, I can buy Citgo 114 for 4.20 a gallon by the 55 gallon drum delivered to my door. Unleaded however is a whole other story. Much more $$$

GT4088 FTW

Yes it can hurt something, Your wallet!, All kidding aside if the fuel you are using is unleaded then your fine. If it is leaded than long term use will cover your o2 sensor with deposits and make it respond slower. Also it is hard on your catalytic converter, with long term use. Actually some...

Hey IJ, just as a precaution, it would not hurt to mic the gasket in various places and compare to a new gasket to check for un even crush. Also, with out the rubber, and being seated once, you may lose a little crush on the used gasket. A little extra ft lbs on the head studs may be in order to...

It is not really a filter, it is a screen and rarely needs service. It you feel it does, it is a manner of just cleaning it.

IPT makes one also, I would spend my money on their stuff over anyone elses for auto tranny parts for the mk3

Precision Turbo intercoolers are really good for the money.

All you need is the bov, not the kit. The new bov will come with a clip and o-ring. The kit is pn 1421-sa001, all you need is pn 1421-sa001. Why spend 280.00 on a kit when you only need to spend 180.00 just the bov.

Yes, you would only need the bov, not the whole kit. That kit was only intended to go on our stock piping.
