    So my torn axle boot. It's completely sliced, like in two pieces. I've been rolling it for at least a month (that's when I discovered it, not sure when it happened) and it doesn't make any noise or vibration. Would I be in the clear to just repack and replace the boot? Or should I replace the...

    Tapatalk Issues - Tapatalk to blame

    I won't get push notifications until I open the app. After I do open the app and switch to another app, if I get any new notifications the push notification pops up but when I switch back to Tapatalk to look at them they don't show up within the app itself for a few hours.

    HolyCrapItsFast... Cyberu belongs to someone else now.

    Re: HolyCrapItsFast... Back in the Suby again! What about a kit for the Carberry 16-bit folks? :D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh also I'm keeping the stock oil cooler/warmer. I just don't think I could justify switching to a ballin ass oil cooler without it being a dedicated track car. The benefits outweigh the negatives for the type of driving I do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Some thermal protective coating would be a good thing IMHO. I have the spacers you're running already and my intake manifold is cool to the touch after driving. The spacers will eliminate the main source of heat seen by the intake manifold, the thermal coating should take care of a good chunk of...

    Yeah I used to have a TDI Jetta that was AWESOME. Only reason we got rid of it was to get something bigger. :/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just in case anyone is actually following, I've gotten wicked busy. I still need to figure out where my oil is going/verify it really is bad turbo seals, button up the wiring to get my speed sensor running, add some brackets to hold my exhaust in place properly, and flatten an exhaust flange to...

    YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GRIND MY GEARS? Thread

    Re: YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS? Thread That's why trade school type programs are gaining popularity so quickly. I am in a two year program so I will only have an AAS when I finish, but there is not one single erroneous class in my program. Absolutely every class I take for my degree...

    Don't be a bitch, just flip your manifold. :mooning: It wasn't a fab nightmare on my car. As long as you find a legit fab guy and plan ahead. We could do all the actual flipping/hard work and they would just have to run the pipe from where your Perrin kit brings it in the bay up over to the...

    Not sure if you were even considering it but one possible deciding factor is if you were wanting to go reverse intake manifold. The only one of these I've seen used for that had a highly modified plenum and I believe hood to get that sucker to fit. The manifold is outstanding and actually flows...

    7 pages and over 10k views. Hot damn I feel so cool! Got a 98.5% on my thermodynamics final last night, pretty sure I completed the course with a 99% overall. Now I get to look forward to advanced thermodynamics winter quarter where the instructor (who has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering) is...

    Doppelganger I haven't done any WOT pulls yet so I mostly putt around Richland. I'll do some in town stuff, usually end up cruising down G. Way over to Battelle/WSU area, then cruise on the highway back over to my house. Had a major E85 inconvenience yesterday. The only pump in town was down...

    Sorry, heads not headers. Which fitting was it installed on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Me too. It'll be nice in the interim though. I'll build a new engine on the side with a 3MI Racing +4mm long rod bored out to 4" so I can keep the 2.5, and JDM big port headers built by Headgames to add AVCS and I'll probably get a Full Race EFR 8374 twin scroll kit to match. You're probably ok...

    No, I bought it used with only a few hundred miles on it (car the turbo was on was a weekend cruiser/show car) and there wasn't any shaft play so it seemed to be in good health. There is a slight film of oil underneath. I wouldn't be surprised by a slight leak somewhere on the engine, but I...

    The more I see of my turbo kit the less impressed I am with it. I replaced the exhaust gaskets tonight and the downpipe to midpipe is still leaking. The flange on the downpipe is warped so badly that even the 12 layer Grimmspeed gasket couldn't close the gap all the way. I'm going to have to...

    Well I meant sub 3k rpm daily drivability haha. Yeah I'm shafted here in town because the only station, though conveniently right by my house, is owned by Connell Oil/Pacific Pride who caters primarily to commercial entities. I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper if we could just get more damn...
