    Remote mount oil filter and what about a cooler?

    This is something that would've been in the directions. Not all adapters clearly specify 'in' or 'out'. If you don't have the instructions, contact the company or use google.

    HELP Please

    youll never get 7500 unless KBB backs you or you have some way to prove it. That low mileage or not, you'd never get that for a private sale. If you get 5500 to 6000 I'd take it and buy it back and pull any valuable parts you could use or sell to make up the difference.

    oil pan gasket..to change or not

    There is nothing wrong with a cork gasket, I always use them on the oil pan and never had any problems. FIPG is recommended by most though. And you shouldn't have to pull the entire engine, you could attempt what meta did if you don't have the man power.

    HKS BOV Flutter/Surge

    The SSQV's normally do this. I own 2. Both leak like a mother, im kind of pissed. I can't even perform a boost leak check because so much leaks out from both of them it won't pressurize the system at all. Called HKS and they basically accused me of having knockoffs and I might as well buy a new...

    It lives

    51 is not "norm". Its an improperly calibrated TPS. Take it off and check it, as your TPS is more than likely bad anyway if it hasn't been replaced before. Be sure it springs back to closed position easily and smoothly, if not the ECU will think you're giving it throttle when you aren't. This...

    Where to buy this sub box?

    It shouldn't be the dimensions of the octagon itself that are the issue, the real issue is the curvature of the spare tire well and the piece that sticks up and secures the tire. How did you work are these obstacles?

    Leaking coolant from back of motor

    While this is true, those are all trouble spots (I have the old system), I wouldn't go so far as to say 'regular basis', but I would definitely be leery. I've been running no turbo heat shield for over three years going and over 20K miles with no issues. A couple of these hoses are actually...

    take off the intake and attach to the turbo and be done with it. Your leaks will show readily in the IC and vac system. Do not plug the PCV system or you may blow out your crank seal, ask me how i know.
