+1 on the wastegate & Vac lines.... I changed out the wastegate and replaced vac lines and the difference was night & day. MUCH quicker to spool. Also check seals at hot & cold pipes...
Seems like alot of Msp'rs use redline. But I read in a tread that it was for racing and needed to be changed often. Then the penz/lucus mix,GM syncro, but I've heard pros and cons to all the above. But only good things bout RP
I need to find the research I found on a bunch of different gear oils and such including rp which failed miserably. I will look for the graph and everything later on and post it up.
Stealerships are infamous for taking advantage of young women. One of my dude's gfs once overheard some service reps at her VW dealer talkin s*** about how they just ripped her off... She was like 19 at the time and went and told her dad or something. From what I heard, her dad tore them a new asshole.
mine behaved similarly with bad plugs...the reason i think it may be a cracked mani is that the car drives fine when it is cold and has just been started up. As it warms up and after about 20 mins of driving is when this stuff occurs so i am thinking that the metal is expanding and exposing the crack causing a vac leak. Does this make sense to anyone other than me?
I changed the wga about three months ago so i hope it isnt that. I may have a split in my cold pipe since it is still the stock plastic. I do need to replace vac lines because they are still the original ones and look like crap
