No sounds like you have a massive vacuum leak somewhere. It would take some troubleshooting to find the leak.

Sounds like cracked solder joints in the ABS module. I spent months chasing down random speed sensor codes and random engagement. Turned out after cracking open the ABS module the solder joints for the connector were cracked. Reflows the solder to the connector and resealed the module and no...

Well you have to measure and see if you can clean it up with the hone if you can remove more material. I am not a fan of ball hones because they don't true the bores. I use a lisle fixed stone hone that will true the bores back up. You can fix a bad bore if you have enough material left. Heck, I...

We are talking WHP here not BHP. Also we do not have PD150 engines on this side of the pond.

Don't use cheap axles, unless you like doing the job over again. The cheap solid axles are also very hard on the transmission. OEM only or re-joint the OEM axles.

Nope. 350WHP is going to take some serious work and probably won't be very street-able.

If its too far off it either won't start or will runaway. It does not take much to completely throw it out of range.

You need to get your injectors pop tested. Even if it will run the pressures will be all off and it will smoke like a train. Also you need to make sure to get the injector bores in the head very clean or they will not seal in the head. Its also a bad idea to touch the QA unless you know where...

TYC is pretty much pure garbage. Even their side marker lights suck, the bulb melts right out of them.

Common problem, I keep a 9mm helicoil kit on hand for this exact thing.

Disagree 100%, especially on the engine mount bolts. If they break, then the motor mount will break the block and your engine will fall out of the car. Its happened many times. Reusing engine mount bolts is stupid.

Those covers warp and start letting water in over time. The early cars that use the 2 piece cover don't seem to have that problem as the cover is much stronger.

IMHO DMFs all suck. Over engineered pieces of cr@p. Throw them in trash and put in proper one piece flywheels. I replaced so many bad DMFs over the years I will never put one in my car.

For $4K a VNT17, clutch, nozzles and a tune will pretty much burn that up.

The problem we seem to have an influx of people who have no idea what the hell they are talking about and are armchair mechanics. Somehow they love to keep posting blatant wrong/dangerous information which is really bad as it misleads people.Its basically destroying which once was a very good...
