Not really sure, I figured I'd ask Shane about on Sunday if I see him at the cookout. Cruising around the air/fuels are perfect and I haven't really gotten on it. First time I got on it the boost gauge went to 30 pretty quick and let off. Got on it yesterday and saw the check engine light flash quick and got out of it. I'd like to log it but still need to get the cable from Mike at some point.

What headgasket did you guys put in it? Thats the one thing I don't really know about this car. Also just regular ARP's?

Maybe I should have you listen to it then as I THINK it might be the throw out bearing. Sometimes at idle it sounds like a chatter of a twin disc then with the clutch depressed the sound goes away. Sound isn't always there though, thats what leads me to think its the tob. Drives fine, just makes me super nervous as the tob took a shit on my 2g and destroyed my twin disc. Plus transmissions are easy enough to pull on a 1g.
