    What size cone air filter fits a stock 7mgte

    - Foam filters suck as they fall apart and those small pieces hitting a turbo blade WILL cause damage because of the speeds involved. - The adapter might not be ideal, depending on how much you want to spend, (remember, being cheap here means AFM damage and turbo damage) you could just get...

    Deck smoothness of a block and head from the factory

    Doesn't matter if they bought the MKIII new from the factory, the engine was assembled with the stock headgasket that WILL put grooves from the fire rings into the head... IJ bought a brand new block and head grom Toyota unassembled, so he'd be the one to talk to...

    No, the shock/spring does NOT turn with the wheel as we DON'T have that type of suspension setup. This is the tech section, don't spread wrong info.

    Engine "builder" fail

    Some people seem to think it's a good idea, I just see it as a way to blow a headgasket, cause hotspots in the combustion chamber, and a nice place for a crack to from. His website seems a little...snake oil-ish http://www.somender-singh.com/

    2 Questions - Exhaust System and Spark plugs

    Is it on the filler neck side? That's usually where it leaks if it does leak, and it's a simple gasket... If you don't fill the tank up all the way it usually stops as well (this is just ignoring the problem though)

    New ignition what to go with?

    Don't you get 51 if you hit the gas pedal while checking codes? Code 12 = ECU not getting a timing signal from the CPS. Check the wires (this is typical). Code 24 = bad AFM or connection to the AFM as the temp sensor is in there.

    afc tunning ?

    He's going to be running lean with the suprasport AFM housing and stock injectors. Your engine to do what you want with, but if you don't have a wideband to setup the fuel pressure and then trim the fuel, you WILL go lean.

    Very rarely do I hear of them leaking as so far as I've heard they're made out of stainless so they don't rust... Where is it leaking from? Yes, I would make that a DEFINATE have to drop the tank and make sure it's empty and purged, no way of welding it on the car safely...

    TEMS strut question

    Turns it. After looking in the TSRM, it's kinda vague on exactly how it's supposed to be set up. There are only 3 settings for the struts, and they're supposed to be installed in the middle setting. The top nut holds the bracket thet the motors mount to in place, and I THINK it has to be...
