I have a 3" system from the back of the turbo back. (including the elbow) It's already built and on my garage floor. Who's the best online store to buy the Maft-Pro from?

My turbo has front to back and side to side shaft play. Is death on the horizon?

Ok. Here is the question. How do I get my stock mkiii to put 350 hp to the ground? What have you guys done and what works the best? Right now the engine is out and stripped. The bare block is sitting on the stand. Tell me where to start to achieve the magic 350 hp!!!!:aigo:

Was that in addition to all the other work done to your car? As with everyone out there, I want a little more spunk than stock without breaking the bank. Reliability is a must also because this is my daily driver. So what's the best way to get me to putting 350 hp to the ground? Spare no...

Hi guys! I am rebuilding my MKIII Turbo and want at LEAST 350hp to the ground. Should I send my CT26 off to TurboNetics and have it hopped up for $450.00 or buy a new T3 or T4 with Exhaust Manifold off ebay for $400.00? A friend of mine sent his CT26 in for the upgrade. It spools fast...

Yes, the block is out and stripped. I sort of live in the sticks so finding a machine shop to do the job right might be tough. I'm not sure what would be worse, me screwing it up, or some tard at machine shop. Probably the tard at the shop! :biglaugh: What if I can't find a shop with...

Nice link. Good info. I think I'll try a little scraping and a little surface disc work. Then check for low spots. Man I don't want to screw this up!!!!!

Ok. I think I'll steer clear of the copper spray. As far as the block goes, have y'all heard any horror stories regarding self prepping? Meaning, is the ratio to BHG's higher in self prepped blocks versus machine shop prepping? My head will be finished today (hopefully). Valve stem...

Yeah, the mall has been crazy! I wouldn't want to park an MKIII anywhere near it!!

I'm down to prepping the deck of the block. I'm going to install an HKS MHG. Are there any recommendations on how to prepare the block. How should I get the old gasket off the block? Should I scrape off the big chunks of old gasket and then use a die grinder with surface preperation discs...

Thanks! Yep, I'm in Kennewick. I lived in Seattle for 2 years. The traffic is CRAZY!!!!!

Yeah, it does look pretty bad. Well, that was from the previous owner. The car is in MUCH better hands now!!! Thanks everyone.

Is this a mod, a redneck job (I'm from Louisiana so I can say that), or something from the factory? Does anyone else's look like this?

Thanks guys. Being that I live in rural area and a commute to town is about 40 minutes, I'll try the spreadsheet method. Both replies were a great help. Thanks for your time! -Kenny

Hi all! I turned the head over with the cams out and all the shims and buckets hit the floor like a slot machine winning! The car is an 87 7MGTE. Any suggestions or directions out there? Possibly some sort of chart or table? This is the only thing keeping me from getting my ride...

Hi, this is my first post; but, I need help in getting a shim and bucket chart or table of some kind. I am rebuilding my 87 7MGTE and turned the head over with the cams out. Needless to say, the sound of shims and buckets hitting the ground reminded me of a slot machine! This is the only...
