Apparently mine have shat the bed. I need a step-by-step, 'cause I need to do it myself.

Oh man... can this wait until tomorrow? What the fuck did you do? You sure it's blown?
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

Either that or somebody snuck into my garage and dumped thier capuccino into my engine.


I just can't figure out why it would have blown. The Scanmaster and knock gauge have reported everything as being hunky-dory and I've been running full-time on 110 octane with the boost set at 20 psi.

Well, If you really Must:

1-Get headgaskets from dealer (steel shim)
2-Intake FelPro MS 96033

   3) unbolt exhaust cutout/cat bypass--discon./take downpipe out of the way
   4) leave intercooler on car
   5) remove Xover pipe
   5) don't disconnect turbo from header--remove as one piece
   6) pray--good luck!

Seeing as how it's taking great efforts to get you up to pace, I'd say it's right about the perfect speed for you.



But, um.....please don't go.....or something. :jerkit;

Move along people, move along. Nothing to see here.
Save the bumper fillers!
