Like you'd say no. ;)

Well, it's safe to say that it's not a GOOD sound. Doesn't sound like rod knock to me though... honestly, it sounds like someone left a socket wrench under the valve covers.

Which is why topping up your brake fluid isn't such a great idea. ;)

I'm certain the custom printed gauge face was just something done on a computer for a one off.

How much did you get shaved off the head and block?

:bsflag: No way - you just don't want them to find out that they are RIGHT.

Agreed. The brake system is designed so that significant pad wear will drop the level in the master cylinder enough to trigger the fluid warning.

Yes, I've never found a puck style clutch that doesn't chatter.

You neglected to mention how much torque you are using on the head gasket. Mk4 is a whole different ballgame, 30psi on a stock Mk4 is nothing like 30 psi on a stock Mk3.

Plugging in the HAC sensor will help if you change altitude a fair bit. It would have to be a fair distance more than ear popping, though. :) If you have a pre-89, I'd highly suggest it, as it's not much work. If you have the 89+, with the HAC built into the ECU, I'd still suggest it but...

Pull off one of the hoses to your by pass valve and try to blow through it. If you can, it's dead.

There is also the fact that is has suicide doors and a CHROME steering wheel. That's just plain wrong.

Only really need to break in two things that I can think of. Clutch & Piston rings. Well, and to a lesser extent brake pads and new tires, but those are quick.

I'd apreciate the photos, for sure. The 3 inch MAF was a tight squeeze into my stock accordian hose - are you using the one from the 7M engine?

What the hell? Is there another engine in the trunk, or has that guy got big slicks on his non-drive wheels?

They will - they gave me the original install doc, and asked that I get them a copy of the finished doc for them to post. I'll turn it into a proper web doc and get that posted here as well. The company is Full Throttle Speed.

Hey! You didn't send me a PM. :(

Hmm.. I was under the impression that the E-brake light comes on when your pads are low, not the antilock light. Wouldn't make much sense to use the antilock light, as not all cars came equipped with the antilock option, and leaving the warning out on cars not so equipped would be a little...

Hey Ideal - I'd be more than willing to give you the entire raw document, and you could add a section on the blow through install. Natan, the SAFC isn't really 'needed', but it is more flexible than the straight MAFT, from what I understand. I've had mine installed for a couple months now...

I'm really hoping the current vendors will venture in here and say what they think. Really though, it's our decision in the end, and as we all know, competition is good for the consumer. I wouldn't want to go nuts and list 100 vendors, and I'm not really sure where we should limit it.
