Think you like it now? Wait till you go for a ride in a car w/one. Life afterwards just won't be the same.

I can vouch for that. Life is never the same after a CA. Your always trying to fix the damn things!!!!

Nah in all honestly they aint that unreliable and they are a great little engine and they get better with mods !

I haven't really had any problems with mine. I have turbo leaking oil, but besides that, it's doing great!

I know exactly what you guys mean! Ours has a blown turbo and is slow because of it, but it still sounds awesome driving it around the neighborhood. I can't wait to feel it under actual boost.

The turbo isn't causing the problem... it's the numerous amounts of leaks in the intake charge piping along with timing that may or may not be out of spec.

Speaking of timing, there was an argument as to whether or not the loop at the back of the coilpack subharness was accurate. We had conflicting information as to whether that was an accurate signal. Some members did have a discrepency between the loop and timing w/a sparkplug wire. I tried both ways and got exactly the same timing. If you seem to be having running problems and timed using the loop, try using a sparkplug wire on the first sparkplug and time off of that.

I checked over the intake piping again. Actually there was a clamp on that intercooler pipe, but it was just hidden so I tightened it down as well. I tightened EVERYTHING down but, this turbo is just blown.
