Well I'm sticking to my new strategy of fixing shiat that's broken in the hopes it will get rid of the P0300. I fixed some Vac leaks. Car runs better. I found a major vac leak in the TB shaft. Ordered new TB shaft seals (along with TB gaskets and EGR gasket which was missing entirely
).
Also, my car runs HOT. I have a new water pump and new thermo already and still running hot so I'm thinking it might be the rad cap because it's old. I bought a new one but haven't driven the car yet. Hopefully it will get my temps down.
Next on the list is a turbo oil feed restrictor so I get more oil to the motor and less to the turbo (I'm flooding it with oil so this will help with the oil burning via the turbo). If that doesn't get my temps down I'll have to get a oil cooler (I'm running without one right now).
That's it for the short term. I'll do all this and see what happens.
Cya all later.
Tom
