    Timing question at the Dyno

    Well I did some research and it seems that it should be set 10 degrees. Correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm no expert in this area. It will depend on how big the turbo, at what psi I plan on running, and elevation as to whether or not I can advance timing. So with turbo that I'm running and only...

    Need some advice on engine rebuild

    That is a good question. I'm a noobie when it comes to engines. So unsure of what you mean. But I guess that's why I'm on the forum to learn.

    Need some advice on engine rebuild

    IJ I have discovered That 1,2,4,6 on the exhaust side are leaking and 6 was leaking bad. More of a flow then a leak. But on the intake side there were no leaks at all.

    Need some advice on engine rebuild

    Airhead I totally agree with you. I knew that something wasn't right when he came done to $600. Granted I knew something wasn't right when I saw those compression numbers. I knew by buying this engine that it could possibly be a parts engine. But I thought that the parts were worth a least...

    Mkiv tt wheel fitment

    That helps. So you think with stock suspension set up it will rub. I have the stock saw blades on right now with 225/50/16 and when fully turned there is about 2 inches from the tire to the spring. Granted your not driving so there is no way to really know how close you get.

    Car idling really low and really rough Help.

    Also tracked all vacuum lines and they appear to be hooked up correctly. Went back and unbolted the fuse box and ignitor and discounted the two grounds under those two things. Cleaned up both grounds and grinded off the paint where it was bolted to get a good connection. I have checked fuses...
