FIRE THAT DOG UP!

spool , baby spool , you were right Ratfink :burnrubber:

I thought you'd like it! Better get a real boost gauge soon!

On a side note, Looks like you have the back wheels on the front and vise-versa. Deeper dished offset actually goes on the front, if I'm lookin at the pics right. Common mistake.

WTF!? when i installed the turbo i had to fight with that damn oil drain for at least 3 hours and now its leaking :disgust:Jas0n:crazy:
 
If I remember correctly you have to have a helper hold and line it up correctly so it stays in place and the gasket don't move on you, when you put the bolts in and tighten it up.
 
Oh damn! How is it leaking? Did the gasket still move when you were bolting it down?
yeah it would move , (when it wasnt sticking to my finger ) it is leaking towards the front of the car , i know the gasket is in the correct position , beats the hell outta me why it leaks DontKnow:
 
I did't even use the fel pro spray and I got no leaks.

Maybe your drain tube has something wrong with it.

also with your left foot at 30 degrees while looking southwest with a full moon in the middle of the day :censor:
 
Bring your car to Ohio as scheduled. When I see you there I will give you my mechanics name and #.

It is fun trying to figure these cars out, but somethings should be left for the ones that know them.

you are right , but i am a little hardheaded , dont like for anything to get the best of me , if man made it i should be able to fix it :lamo:
 
I just had that problem and use an rjc gasket and no leaks now....., I know what you mean about lining it up and stuff that is a pain. its only 3 bucks for the gasket though, so that is good. Good luck.

i think a lift will be cheaper and less painfull than bending over that damn hood :wall:

what do you recommend on the boost gage? or should i say who and where ,havent seen much for sell :detective:
 
Any flavor of Auto Meter or VDO(or whatever) mechanical vac/boost gauge will do. Before MAP sensors,scanmasters and data loggers we used vacuum gauges as a tuning tool. No reason to not have one as part of your boost gauge. something like a 30/30 vac/boost combination.
