It's been a while since I posted last. Since the T25 blew, lots has happened.
221430 mi - T25 Blew
221482 mi - 16g and oil change
221795 mi - 2nd 16g and ARP Headstuds
Yep, that's right. I managed to kill a 16g in about 200 miles. Justin (jusmx141) honored his 30 warranty and replaced it. When he tore it apart, the shaft had eaten itself alive and the bearing...

I've been having this problem with the car stuttering anytime I really jumped on the gas. It would start breaking up at about 10psi. I had done a boost leak test and replaced the TB shaft seals. The AFRs were about right for a stock car (9.5 give or take) but it was sputtering badly.
I had ordered up some new spark plugs with my last order to STM. Figured it was about time to put them...

Yep, it failed again. The list this time:
I knew from before that the axle would not come out of the hub. I had tried to get it out when I pulled the engine. So, I got everything ordered again. I had broken a exhaust mani to turbo bolt, so I ordered a new set of ARP ones.
...
- Bad front passenger wheel bearing
- Bad tie rod end
- Bad lower ball joints (control arms)
- Exhaust leak

October 31st, 2008. 215k miles.
I procrastinated and took my car in on the last day inspection was due, expecting it to pass. Since I'm up in Erie, I took it to a shop up here. I just pulled it out of the phone book. When I took the car, it was nothing like what was at the shop. They seemed to specialize in old domestic cars.
Great.

It's now June '08. 209k miles.
I started leaving oil spots under my car every time I parked. Big spots. 8" diameter spots in about 5 hours. All I knew was that the oil was coming from behind the lower timing belt cover. I couldn't afford the downtime to fix it though. I was working 5 days a week 15 miles from my house. It had to wait until the end of August, when I planned to pull...
