    15 psi wastegate spring, but i boosted to 22psi

    you have a bad wastegate probably. Reason why theres more creep from higher gears is due to more load that is applied. Just switch out the wastegate and make sure it doesnt hit your downpipe and you should be fine. malloynx had this problem as well i believe. charlie

    T04 Turbo Advice

    look on 7mpower.com. Trents car was on stock bottom end and made over 500rwhp. How much boost is irrelevant. Theres lots of variables that play a part in this. But since you said stock injectors, and stock intercooler. Dont even think about turning up the boost without monitoring that afr...

    7mgte mate to w58?

    w58 will last, just depends how long when your making over 400rwhp and constantly beating on it. Some guy in on cs.com is making over 350rwhp and has been running the w58 for 2 years now. runs consistent mid 12's on his mk2 also.

    Oil pan gasket or gasket maker?

    use toyota FIPG or Permetex FIPG will do the same. The turbo pan WILL fit the NA black. Same flange pattern all around, the only thing different is the center sump. If it doesnt fit then use the front sump oil pan but it should fit with a center sump. Using the front sump on the MK3 will not...

    WTF happend, car will not idle..?!?!

    my only other suggestion would be to check your CPS wires. Sometimes they get old and worn/break. A slight bump and your car will go off. Just a thought, but glad to hear that the car is back up and running. charlie
