Stock turbo for now, dont plan on doing any WOT runs anytime soon anyways

Still looking for a TT street chip. 42# injectors. Non-alky. Prefer a 93 octane chip if possible, but will accept 92.

Second in line for #8 Scanmaster-G if still available

As the title states, I'm looking for a TT 86/87 street chip for 42.5# 009 injectors. Thanks!

Yes, it has a blue hue. It seemed a little excessive for normal PCV operation. The runner looked wet all the way down into the head. Bottom was untouched. Pistons stayed where they were. Maybe a week? Don't remember exact turnaround time. It wasn't months or any extended amount of time where...

Took off the plenum to find oil right away inside the intake and even on my PP. I originally installed the valley pan metal gasket. Should I try the other individual printoseal style intake gasket? Or stick with the metal valley pan gasket?

Rings are stock. Left the bottom end alone during the rebuild (obviously big mistake). Everything looked good and cylinder walls were smooth when heads and pan were off. Guessing they're not as good as they seemed and possibly all carbon'd up in the groove..

Ran it without the turbo and still got smoke. Coolant looks good. No bubbles or foam. Did a cylinder leakage test and got about 20-25% leakage across all the cylinders (used modified HF tester since that's what was available atm, not sure how trusty it is), but did heard hissing out of the...

Thank you, I will definitely verify this! Oil pressure was around 50 at first start up and settled around 25 PSI Coolant level seemed fine. I definitely check again and look a little closer. Thanks, I will look into that and let you know what I find!

That's kinda what I'm working on, but dont want to take the heads off again if I dont have to. With the compression being fine, I'm assuming the rings are fine. What else should I look for that could be causing oil to get into the cylinder? What has been known to cause this besides rings and...

Hey guys, I did a stock motor rebuild in my WE4. It did run before disassembly. I had a local reputable shop change out the valve springs and resurface the heads. Bottom end looked good, so I left it alone. After reassembling, it started up and ran a little rough, but ran on it's own upon...

Having the same issue. Fresh rebuild. Compression good. Had heads redone at local machine shop with new springs. Oil saturation on turbo into downpipe. Thinking either valve seals or turbo seal? Stock turbo. Any input would be great! Thanks

9" booster? Come with gasket? You have a PM
