Coolant filter? :aigo: -Chris

Good work on finding the solution! Now go hop back on that dyno and give us some new numbers. -Chris

Many have just gone with the bead type mhg and haven't had any problems. :dunno: It's only ~$200 cheaper... -Chris

What about your transmission mount? Do you have the stock one or an old ripped one by chance? In my Z28 I had before, I put one of the poly ones in and hated it because there was so much vibration, even at idle. -Chris

What doesn't fit? The plugs into the ECU or the plugs to the sensors themselves? -Chris

I think most of them are shot there, I only noticed in the first place because that's where my grandparents live, but in the Sun City West side of town or something. /thread-jack -Chris

/\ /\ /\ I wasn't trying to put you down, just simply asking since you didn't list them in your mod list. No harm intended... Aspec- I didn't know they did either but I'm sure someone will confirm this. (Do you ever go down and see the shooting of the show 'Pinks'? Isn't it in your town?)...

Sorry, he didn't mention having new pistons. I just wanted him to clarify whether or not he did instead of boring the block to .020 and putting stock pistons back in. -Chris

I just have to ask...when you did the "overbore .020" what pistons did you use? Did you find some .020 overbore stock pistons? Just asking because you didn't list JEs or anything and that would result in baadd power. -Chris

No personal experience there but I got my motor from http://www.soshinusa.com/default2.asp and I love it. Great service and the motor was perfect, clean as hell might I add! -Chris

Try this before doing any adjustments to your BOV: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19718 And you should also know that it is unwise to vent your BOV to admosphere without switching over to speed density i.e. Maft Pro/VPC/standalone... search if you don't believe me -Chris

Put the upgraded CT in a wal-mart bag or something (keep the dust out) and store it till you have the money for some more supporting mods, it will be much more worth the investment to wait. -Chris

So wait...you rebuilt your motor and threw a bunch of mods on it but then kept a 160,000 mile old stock turbo on it? :3d_frown: Let's see what it does with a rebuilt/upgraded CT26 or larger bolt on, given the mods. -Chris

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Fronts till stick out 5mm from your stock wheels Rears will stick out 15mm from your stock wheels They won't be flush but you can get spacers for them. If you get them you could fit 255's easy. -Chris

19” OE fitment is 19x8 +30 mm offset (F) and 19x8.5 +33 mm (R) they may stick out a tat (F=20mm past saws R=23mm past saws) - I agree they look sweet, and would look pretty shnazzy on an MK3, but how are those going to be much cheaper than aftermarket wheels? -Chris

No but dirty coolant and that crap after it's been sitting turns into sludge and places where it's dry it is like a powder. Running just water will cause it to rust. Water + metal + sitting for long periods of time = rust. -Chris

You would have to have someone make a spacer/adapter for you as the CT26 will not bolt on to an HKS manifold. Like pmohr said, remove the wastegate actuator and have someone weld the flapper shut, just use the external off of the manifold. Even still, you wouldn't gain much using an...

A previous owner didn't put one of those radiator stop-leak things in did they? Those make a huge mess and DO NOT work haha, I found that out when I drained the radiator on my car after towing it home when I bought it. -Chris

Then move to IL :biglaugh: no emissions here. My car's not drivable yet so I can't offer my opinions on a cat. I didn't have one on my last three cars! -Chris

While it's out replace the bearings and check all clearances while doing so. Honing the cylindars isn't a bad idea either, and yes you should replace the piston rings as well. You'll save yourself a huge headache later down the road. Don't forget to deck the head and block for a mhg! -Chris
