To take the crank sprocket bolt off use a SOCKET. Do not just stick the breaker bar into the bolt. To add, position the breaker bar so that it lays on the control arm or use a jack stand to support the breaker bar and crank the engine for about a second. Remember to take out the fuse that...

Haha how long have you been at Ramstein? AFSC? I'm in Spangdahlem but PCSing to Osan within a couple weeks.

That looks amazing man. Keep up the good work! It probably makes you feel good to hear me say that I envy you..

Punishment Racing's FMIC is pretty affordable. Why do you need a FMIC ASAP? You can run the stock side mount with the small 16G until the VRSF comes back in stock. I was actually thinking of getting the Punishment Racing kit but it looked to me that the VRSF kit had a better design on the end tanks.

There should be a diagram underneath your hood that shows how all the vacuum lines are routed.

Wrong area man..Regional DSM Events - DSM Forums

Lowering springs are obviously stiffer than OE springs. When you cut OE springs to lower your car, the spring rate (stiffness) will be same but will be shorter and will have a higher chance of bottoming out.

:rolleyes: Yea, you're right if you want to get technical but is it practical?

For as long as you've been on this forum, I would think you'd know that cutting springs is a very bad idea...

No problem :thumb:

You wouldn't boost at all..BTW, to answer your question about adjusting the WGA, there's no way you can do it unless you modify it with some welding skills on a 16G.

Here you go. YouTube - Boost Leak Testing 201: Using the tool.Just to add a little bit, use some bubble solution (dishwasher soap with water) and spray anything that is pressurized. Leaks will actually be visible this way.

Well since his WGA went out, he must've been boosting like crazy which also means that his ECU was probably "trying" to compensate by injecting more fuel which would explain the bad gas mileage. Even with all that fuel being injected, he was probably still running way too lean.

White residue in your exhaust means you're running too lean which also means your exhaust gas temperatures are way too high.
