Another quick question ... I should prob change the coil insulators too right?

You are the man thank you sooooo much ... Lov the dsmers

Ok but isn't there a bearing in there to change?

Hey I'm looking for oem style strut mounts ... I saw a thread talking about 3G eclipse have the same rear strut mounts. Do the 3G eclipse also have the same front strut mount? If not does anyone know where I can buy new mounts like metal plate and bearing etc?Using Tokico Illumina struts and...

The only update I have is I ended up tearing the engine apart .. Had valve seal leaks and had to repair the head gasket. I bought ecmlink and that did help dial in the idle prior to the tear down.I will keep yall up to date.

Right on thanks man .. I'll make sure to check all those components

Hmm .. i'll check out the brake booster line thanks. I also saw on the forums that there is a evap emission purge solenoid valve ... http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/boost-leak-behind-intake-manifold.496381/And I'll find out about the base timing before top dead centerThanks again brotha

Nice and Rockauto has it 60ish .. and thanks ill pay attention to the ignition timing What's the base timing on the 97 tsi supposed to be -- 5 degrees?

Yea I have been doing that and it helped me find the leaks I have listed above ... I'm going to try to compress the system with smoke and see where it leaks out

Good call on the siliconeintake ... they're sold out of the 2.25 in tbolt clamps ahah and I needed one

Nice .. I'll keep ya up to date on how it goesthe plan: -ecmlink v3 -IAC valve / ISC motor -both coolant temperature sensors -megan racing downpipe -HKS hi-power cat back

Are these sensors something you would purchase from rockauto or find the oem ones somewhere?

Ok good call .. thanks for all the help

What's ya'll opinion on the coolant temperature sensors going bad and causing the car to idle higher/poorly??
