My only special tool is that block of wood to keep the lifting chain off the turbo coolant linesYep, no special tools or any of that bs. Thats why I like TMs so much
Ah yes. let the fun begin.
Be sure to take care of that exhaust too, and look for a better intake.
My exhaust is 3 inch mandrel bent with high flow cat and straight through bullet mufflers.
I have a ported intake and a 3.8 minivan throttle body
Pretty much. But you can have special features added in, like launch control, alky injection triggers, Hi/lo boost switching etc.
Could I still use my digital boost controller? I have it set to rpm specific boost limits.
Im guessing it would be for fuel curves at that point?
I would get the head ported, +1mm valves, S60 cam or bigger,

I Stripped it down to the crank today. Here is what I have found so far:
Going to have the crank out tomorrow and see what kind of shape the journals are in. The oil pump is probably shot, and I found free play between the distributor rotor and the intermediate shaft off the timing belt.
Oil pump is crap city. Ill throw in a melling.
#3 rod bearing did its job. Kept the crank safe.
