    bird cage is on

    This light only comes on when the overflow sensor thinks the coolant lvl in the overflow is low. for whatever reason the sensor is thinking its low while its not. I'm no wiring expert but to me this would make me think the sensor is bad or something is on it causing it to do this or the...

    New 4 inch exhaust. awesome, except for fuel cut. LOL

    I'm just shocked you are 12-13 psi without any shimming or turning the boost up. I wonder if you wastegate isn't having problems, the diaphragm could be leaking or something could binding up and its not opening up enough. Something just isn't right here.

    New 4 inch exhaust. awesome, except for fuel cut. LOL

    If your piping has all been replaced then maybe its your IC, I have seem them burst on the edges. Matt had 3 boost leaks on his car...very hard to track down sometimes, the last one we found was in the Intercooler. Best way to test it all is to pressurize the entire system if you have the...

    Looking good Armando! I'm really surprised you are boosting that much with just exhaust. Have you shimmed your wastegate?

    J/W Would a mk4 wing fit on a mk3?

    Personally I don't like the MK4 wing on the MK3, I would rather go wingless which on the right car looks pretty hot.

    BIC Downpipe Performance Question

    Your stock cat and exhaust is going to be a huge bottle neck...however I would still expect you to feel a a difference but probably not as much as you are hoping for. Get a 3" exhaust installed and it will make a huge difference. Good Luck!

    LEX with 440s, Tune with Fuel Pressure?

    I have never seen this discussed before, not like this anyways. Basically everybody says if you go LEX you have to either get a piggyback or go with 550 injectors. Here is the hypothetical setup. 1. LEX AFM 2. Walbro 255 3. Fuel Pressure Regulator 4. wide band to monitor a/f Basically all...

    The LEX is bigger, if you hold them side by side there will be no question in your mind.

    open turbo

    I know a couple of people that ran only a elbow one stock one 3 inch that was about 8-10 inches long and had no problems. But yeah the only thing you have to worry about is melting something but just starting it for a few secs is not going to screw anything up unless its right there.

    Tips for putting engine/tranny back in

    I have pulled and installed a few, and putting back in really is no different. just take your time and have at least 2nd person helping you guide it in. I have never had to do any special to get it back in. just reverse the process you took to get it out.
