I'd love to know that as well, but I will say this, after installing my intake and hardpipes (had to get an intake as the stock airboxy no longer fitted) the gain was noticeable.
The stock airbox doesn't look like it would flow very well considerly the air isn't funneled in (it's got a wall...
You'll hit other things first...especially over a speedbump as the drain plug is lined up with the tires... (in other words, you'd be sitting on the frame first). If you hit something hard enough to remove the valve, it would rip off the stock drainplug or put a hole in the oil pan...
Safety issues, installing the kill switch cleanly, installing in the hatch cleanly so the targa can still fit, ect...
It's a hassle I'd much rather avoid...
They always look bad as it's a steel cam in an aluminum head. Babbit material from the head builds up on the cams, it's normal.
Won't affect oil pressure as the oil is going through the bottom end first...
You won't believe the shit that comes off of it. Also, check to make sure the bracket that the clutch fork clips into isn't loose (had it happen to me)
It's an industrial turbo (like most of the cheap ones you see). They work FINE usually, but they're not of a modern design, and usually are designed for diesel applications (hence the huge exhaust housing).
Battery relocation is a bit of a hassle if you want to race the car.
If you're running the stop AFM the IAC has to get metered air from the accordian pipe in front of the turbo. If the IAC is in an odd spot it's going to be tough to get the air to it...
- TSRM says to remove from the block (think this might have more to do with contamination of the pipes)
- Gearwrenches have lifetime warranties and tightening and loosening with them is FINE. They're stronger than they feel.
IIRC magnaflows don't use fiberglass at all (fiberglass sucks in the durability department, ask anyone with a sportbike)
I love my exhaust, but my bro has pretty much the exact same exhaust on his MKII (same exact muffler, but not modified for 3" inlet, and smaller piping) and his is much...
