Thanks alot!! I'll get two of those on order...

I ordered a 2.5" IC Hardpipe Kit; but, am keeping my stock Intercooler. I need to know what the inlet and outlet sizes are on the stock ic so I can get the proper reducers ordered before I fly out to vegas on business. Sorry for the lazy type question; but, I just don't have time to make the...

116k with the mods listed in my sig toasted my clutch in 2k miles. This was the second clutch the car has seen. I'm at 118k now and my new stage two just arrived today!! :icon_bigg

I bought a JDM and it arrived with major head damage due to being run low on oil. I sent it back and they sent me a second one. The second one arrived with a BHG. I found it when I pulled off the head. I sent it back as well. The thrid one arrived in MUCH better condition than the first...

Hi guys! I hear of different people running different brand injectors. With all the choices out there, what are y'all running and had the best luck with? I know to stay away from Venoms! :icon_bigg Secondly, is it a good idea to run 550's from older cars. Like Mazda's 550 version(s)...

A couple things come to mind for burning oil. You could be at the point of a rebuild. If your rings are bad or getting there, it'll burn oil. Another is that your turbo could need rebuilding. Both instances are common with high mileage or if they haven't been well taken care of. There...

I agree! ^ I got sooooo beat up for replacing my rod bearings that it would be good to hear about someone else that was successful with this. Plus there's a little part of me that would feel good about saying "Nah nah nuh boo boo...you were wrong!!!!!" To all those who were not on my...

My latest kill was my buddies stock DSM. We went from a 5 roll, then a 15 roll. Got him both times in pretty short order. It's hard for me to brag about this kill because he also has an MKIII that puts a bonified spankin on my MKIII! :icon_bigg Worst loss: Haven't had one yet; but, I'm...

So...I count three hands there Grim. No wonder it's not a problem!! :naughty: :biglaugh:

Ok. So here's what I'm considering. I could pull the head and replace the headgasket with an OEM that I've got sitting on my bench along with a set of ARP Head Studs. While I'm there do the timing belt and so on... I have a walbro 255 in the box that I need to install also. I've got a 57...

When would one be able to hear this 'rattle'? I'm assuming at WOT or under load; but, I hear a rattle for about a minute when I start my car in the morning. The sound sounds like it is coming from the timing cover. Could be something entirely different... :dunno:

Ok. So, newbie type questions here. Aside from the knock sensor, how does one know when detonation is happening and how does one prevent it?

So let me ask this: What's the feeling about running ARP Head Studs on a new OEM Head Gasket? Am I still asking for trouble above 9 psi?

I know that there are some...less than informed folks around. (was I politically correct enough there? :sarcasm:) No, I would take the head to a machine shop and have a friend of mine who is a machinist and an MKIII owner help me inspect the block. The last thing I want is trouble with my...

^I second that notion. Check clearances for sure. Actually, I just did this very job about 2 months ago. Mine started knocking and I IMMEDIATELY babied it home and turned it off. If you drove very much at all with it knocking, your chances are slim for this being a success. I lowered...

Tell me how you really feel about the OEM BOV! :biglaugh: I forgot to menion that I upgraded to the Bosch BOV. I edited my original post. :icon_bigg

Thanks for your thoughts guys. I do appreciate it. I'll take your advice and keep my current setup as is and concentrate on building up a second one with a MHG. I was just toying with the idea of getting a little more 'umph' out of my current setup. You know how it is! I want MORE power...

I suppose I could have the head done; but, is it possible to adequately prep the block while it's in the car?

Hey guys. I've done a little reading and found conflicting opinions and information. Here's my mods: Bosch BOV K&N Flex-A-Lite Electric Fans 3" Exhaust from the turbo back Shimmed Wastegate hitting around 9psi Everything Else Stock including the Headgasket. 116k on the car...

Something like this? What's it for anyway...?
