Raammat is amazing. I bought a whole bunch, so I am working on installing it through every inch of the car. So far I got the trunk done, and the driver side door. The door is now like closing an old mercedes door x10. Has a nice satisfying deep thud, instead of a tinny rattle.
Going to try and get the other door done tomorrow, and the floor.

Finally started the tear down... yay...
Anyways, got this far in like an <1 hour. Found some interesting stuff...
Looks all good right?
Until...
Camshaft failure?!?! What could have caused this? All the lobes have wear like that one, some less, some more.

Fail... Turbo doesn't fit. It is way too big and hits the firewall. Guess I need a different exhaust manifold, or modify this one.

And I thought you "turbo" guys would just look at this a bonus, and not a problem! I thought it would go something like this...Roadhog wrote: Turbo doesn't fit. It is way too big and hits the firewall...
Spence, you know I keed......good luck!Roadhog wrote: Turbo doesn't fit. It is way too big and hits the firewall...
Now I have to modify the firewall and modify the engine mounts to get my new super-snail to fit under the hood. Intercooler piping is going to be a challenge, and I might have to go widebody and push the wheels out so that it will all fit. Also, going to need to totally destroy the factory bumper to make the intercooler ftr. It will be totally sweet when it is done, i bet it runs 9s.......In fact I might just go AWD with this thing to get all the power to the ground........
