Re: My Winter Upgrades

Ha, we will see. But I'm still pretty new to it all, so who knows what I'll run.

Anyhow, the other day the car sounded a bit louder. So I popped the hood to have a look, and there's the turbo, crooked, hanging on by 1 bolt... I'm getting sick of these suckers backing out. In a couple weeks I'm going to take the head off to get it rechecked out by a better shop, and replace the headgasket. At that time, I'm going to drill the 4 bolts holding the turbo on, for safety wire, and that should hopefully be the end of that issue.

Also, just picked up a used (but never actually been used) Arc-2 ignition system off the Link forums for a pretty decent price. That'll probably go on around the same time I'm doing the head gasket. So hopefully that'll be the end of that issue.

Yeehaw
