Congrats man! Back on the road once again. It was a PITA right???
SupraTico, MKIV94TT, a good friend Riggy, and I did all that and more with no power tools. Delt with rain, heat, and Florida humidity.

Tell me about it...

We swaped the turbos, had the head taken to get serviced, sent the injectors to RC Engineering (balanced and blueprinting), cleaned the cake of soot that had built in and around the entire intake manifold and runners, had EGR block off plates installed, changed BOV, put a FMIC, replaced as many seals and gaskets as we could, of course the timing belt with all its necessary components, etc. Too much to list man.

Thanks once again to SupraTico, MKIV94TT (Dan), and Riggy. Couldn't have done it without you guys... literally.

89MKIIIT: Did you do all that by yourself?

Ya....well mostly. A buddy helped me a little bit, but most of it by myself. It was a trying project, but in the end..its all worth it..
