    Spark plugs seal

    Just go with the MSD's.. $80-$100. Unless you already have the larger ones. You can always use silicone around the edges to help seal plug wires..

    How much boost on stock gasket.

    Cool. I will make sure the prep work is good. Will the permatex copper spray work as good as the brake quiet.. I have read alot about the brake quiet lately..

    Spark plugs seal

    I doesn't HAVE to.. But it will be better off to get that gasket because If junk gets in there and you pull your plugs it is a chance of garbage getting into the cylinder.. Most times on our cars if you haven't replaced the cam tower seals they will start leaking in there..

    stock fuel system

    What needs to be replaced when you block off the Jtube. What parts did you use?? I am getting ready to do the same thing. My head is getting rebuilt and I am going to put in new HG, Bolts(ARP) etc.. and I was planning on 550's walbro and FPR. Just looking for more details on pulling the j tube...

    What could cause this??

    Combo of reasons.. Most because I am ready to upgrade Fuel, Injectors yada yada and turn up the boost a bit. So I really wanted to change the HG as well and torque it down.. I just bought this car a little over a year ago and wasn't sure of what had or hadn't been done to it..

    What could cause this??

    Code 51

    More than likely.. I can't say for sure.. There are more knowledgeable people here than me... I just have experience with the Code 51.. What a pain.. It seems easier to me than doing the TSRM method.. I don't remember who posted about the throttle but you do need to make sure the throttle...

    Code 51

    OK.. When checking the codes make sure you are only showing 51.. It is much easier if you have someone to help you. While flashing a 51 move the TPS a little until your check engine light is on a fast blink. Keep adjusting until you just the slightest movement of the tps will throw a 51. When...

    boost gauge install question!

    I T'd my guage a little before the sending unit and mounted the guage right infront of the stock guage. I spliced mine into the light that mounts on top of the ashtray and it dims with the stock guages.. If you need any pics I can shoot you some.. Good luck!!

    Walbro ????

    Ok... I haven't dropped the tank and have no clue to what the bracket looks like. Does anyone have a pic of what the stock setup looks like from under the pump. I guess to use the gss340 I would have to cut the bracket for the pickup.. Not sure if the mod is worth 60 bucks savings???

    Walbro ????

    I have a friend of mine who took a walbro out of his Mustang. The unit is a gss340. The MKIII should use a gss341. The differences that I know of is the inlet is larger on the one out of the Mustang. Any reason the pump from the mustang wouldn't work?? I will be using an adj FPR.. Here...

    Fuel Kit??

    Thanks for the replies.. I will look a little more for the parts.. I just wanted to make sure that I get the proper install parts. I do plan on blocking the Jtube.. I will have to find a little more about this though. I haven't seen any pics on this process.. One of the main reasons for...

    Fuel Kit??

    Why overkill. The norm is to upgrade to lex afm right? All the other stuff is common right.. I already have APEXi intake and custom exhaust.. I found injectors a little cheaper maybe 30 bucks.. If you know of better pricing I am more than willing to seperate the order.. (not...
