thanks for the helpful hints guy! I've been doing plenty of reading lately and i gotta say i sure have learned a lot! Before beginning my project i will buy the book Maximum Boost (recommended in another thread). Everybody seems to praise that book so it must be worth buying. I was really hoping...

I guess tunertoys doesn't ship to Canada though...sucky! No worries i'll find something to work. I work in a machine shop so i could even make my own fitting if i had to. Thanks for your help everyone!

Great, thanks guys! I knew about the return but i wasn't sure about the supply to the turbo. One more question now. If I "steal" some of the oil from the oil pressure sender is that going to affect anything else in a bad way?

that is the only way?

Hi, i was thinking of turbocharging my P5. Where do you connect the oil line to feed the turbo? Do i have to drill and tap the block or is there an existing oil feed? Thanks!

Hey great question...that's something i've been wondering about. Difficult to install? How do you tune your engine if you have a laptop and software?

Installed AWR front motor mount and side inserts today. Holey crap there's a lot of vibration inside the car now...but it does feel shweeet!!!(lol2)

I don't know much about this but it's called VTCS (Variable Tumble Control Solenoid). Some of the guys here remove this because it restricts air flow to the engine. Sorry I can't help you with weather or not it's ok for the road trip though. I'm guessing since it's stuck closed all it will do is...

Sorry for the misleading title guys. Never really thought of it that way. Kinda funny now

I was thinking 1.8T as well...way to disappoint us all(2thumbs)

How long did the install take u? What kinda little snatches should i look out for or what can i do before taking the car out of commission? It's my daily drive so i can't afford to have it down for a month(encourage

Hey, I have been contemplating boosting my P5! I don't know a lot about Turbos but i know some of the very basics. I have found a used Turbo Kit. I have done some bolt on stuff and helped rebuild an old diesel VW engine. My question is am I going to be able to install it myself? What...

How difficult was the installation? Any hints or tricks?

Has anybody tried the rockblocker paint protection stuff. I was thinking of getting some for my bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors but i'm not sure how the fit/look is and how difficult it is to apply. Thanks for any input on this!

Flushed my engine with sea foam today and added some of that Restor stuff that's been recommended to my oil. I've noticed a difference pretty quick after the sea foam cleaning! Also changed my tranny fluid Redline MT90...shifts nice and smooth!

Can't wait to see what u gain! Let us know how the installation went.

Such as?

so what's the verdict here? I'm a little confused now. I figured it would be best to get intake and exhaust cams so the engine can breathe better in and out. Is this the case or not? I have an aftermarket exhaust, CAI and have a header, UDCP and engine mounts coming in a week or so. Can't wait...

Thanks for the info, I just bought a sweeet polished aluminum dash kit for my p5. Hope everything fits nice!

I am thinking of buying some dash trim for my P5 and I was wondering if the protege dash is the same as the protege5 dash since I found a website selling dash kits but they only make them for the protege. BTW if anybody has tried some dash kits they were happy with I'd like to know where you...
