    I'd clean them with some dawn soap and water and an old toothbrush. They look reusable to me. Just a good cleaning is all. The belt should always be new tho.

    The goal of a boost leak test is to pressurize the intake from the turbo inlet with slightly more pressure than your max boost. I use a tester "tool" that's made from a rubber coupler and pvc cap (from HomeDepot) with an air hose quick release...

    1> It's really two questions, it it blocked off or turned all the way in? When the car it cold does it fast idle until it warms up? You might not be able to tell if your idle speed never gets news the programmed setting (or 850 on a stock ECU)...

    Not really, no.Yes and yes.If I tighten it all the way down, the values start moving close to 3/4 turns out, which seems suspicious.My TODO list: 1> FIAV active (how to check?) 2> measure ISC coil resistance 3> Check throttle cable slack (I...

    Can someone point in the direction of steps of doing a boost leak test and also checking the timing. Assume I know little as a mechanic. I have ECMlink coming but have to do these steps first. I just want my car to run good.You must be...
