Ditch the E fans, go to the stock 10 blade clutch setup with shroud. Do you have the undertray on the car?

I would get the turbo upgraded to a 57 trim when you get it rebuilt. Definitely go OEM on all gaskets and seals. I used Driftmotion's kit for the studs, worked well.

I bought some 560cc Evo injectors, Does anyone know what kind of clips they use and where I can get them? Thanks.

After you get the elbow and downpipe off you should have plenty of room to reach down from the back with a 14mm wrench to get the bottom two nuts off the turbo flange. I've had to pull the turbo multiple times, I've found it's easiest to leave the oil lines attached to the turbo and just unbolt...

Is the bov vented to atmosphere? That will cause it to bounce rich and then lean while shifting. Mid 13s under boost is dangerously lean. Are the injectors stock? Make sure it has the stock AFM housing and not swapped for a lexus AFM.

Sounds pretty gnarly. I would pull the cam covers off and inspect the valvetrain first. Does it still have good oil pressure? Any metal flakes in the oil? Nothing caught in the fan? Pull the clutch inspection plate and make sure the flywheel isn't falling off.

The PCV inlet is too small to use for the bov.

Thanks for the info. I run 1/2 quart over full. I also looked at a friends MK3 and it had about 5 psi at idle. So I feel better.

Exactly. I would run the factory PCV system.

My 7M makes about 10 psi at hot idle and about 35 on the highway. This is using 5w-30 synthetic. Oil pump has been shimmed 5mm. Basically between the low pressure and all the rod knocked 7M's I see, I worry about it. Is this pressure normal?

How's the oil drain?

It is 19mm.

I beat one from a roll pretty easily

The lower radiator hose is cooler than the top because the radiator is working properly. I would replace the thermostat, radiator cap, and all the coolant hoses. If any hose has a small leak the cooling system won't pull coolant back from the overflow and you'll end up with a heater core full of...

I like a simple threaded black delrin knob.

CPS is probably 180 degrees off

Bought for 1800 with all kinds of problems. over $4K in receipts I've saved...

The ECU shuts off the injectors with the throttle closed under engine braking. Running lean right when fuel cut happened is what worried me, now I know that's not the case.

This is what I needed to know. Thanks.
