He's speaking of the stock setup and the ground wire from the bracket that holds the coil packs to the head.

I believe you're talking about the boost sensor that is used for the boost gauge. Honestly, I have no clue if it would work...

Not just any muffler shop can work with stainless (properly to where the weld won't rust) :(

as the MKIII came out as a half year model (86.5), you probably have a MKII windshield

Follow a car without a cat with your windows down and see if your eyes burn. Also, NOx is far more harmful than CO2 to the environment and to people. Might want to study up on how a catalytic converter works and why they're used. Also, how the car is tuned for them and without it, it's...

Keep in mind a test pipe isn't going to give you any gains over a high-flow cat (mostly just a cat that has 3" inlet and outlet will work wonders). Only 2 reasons not to run a cat: - Running leaded race gas - you're cheap and/or a dick that wants to make people's eyes bleed :)

OEM is going to superior in this application.

OEM HG is exactly what he's describing. As a general rule, I like OEM gaskets best (as several of the gaskets in the cheap gaskets sets are plain wrong or of the wrong material), but you're on a budget. The tricky ones are the throttle body gasket (hole is tiny and needs to be cut bigger)...

I dig the JDM grill

CPS is the distributor on a turbo car ;) On an NA car this should be easy...

27 is no cat, 71 is EGR temp, and the 61 code for tranny is for the speed sensor. I don't know enough to say that's your issue (as I don't know the ECT system that well), but it could be possible.

everyone else already has most of it, but the other things that come to mind: - Wiring to the coils (is the right coil firing and is the wire connected to the right coil) - wiring to the CPS (same issue)

Also keep in mind that most cheap fans are rated without resistance.

"loose" is subjective. It's a dampener, grab both ends and try to compress and extend it rapidly. The engine dampener works the same way.

Steering dampeners won't push back from being compressed (that would make the car want to steer in the direction of the shock's extension). Try pulling it in and out fast, that's how it works.

lol, well, I had one that the guides popped off. Bought a new one and it was an improved design so I assume it was an issue :)

Kinda how you stake an axle nut. The guides are a press fit, and then around the edge they press the metal down in spots to keep it in place.

Older electronics and design, it's just that simple. Plus, you can pick up 2JZ-GE's for pretty cheap as they're far newer and likely to be in a junkyard (and were used in more cars). 1JZ is a waste these days. Years ago you used to be able to get a front clip for cheap and do a complete swap...

LS1 is more expensive, not to mention requiring more custom parts.

2JZGE-T swap running on 7M-GTE electronics is cheaper than going true 2JZ-GTE. The main cost of it is the turbo system (which if you're looking for power, you'd be doing on the other engines as well).
