Thats ok, I have a hose here, a little closer than 120 miles away or I'd hit you up. I'll rinse out when I'm done at the beach... Thanks!

Halon the rest is not directed at you.......

Someone seems to have a lot to say when they have a shop do everything for them and gives someone shit for doing work and paying for parts themselves and "messing up".

I'm drunk so take this for what its worth:

I'm sick of people giving shit to others saying "get help working on your own car". How the fuck is he suppose to learn? Especially coming from someone who pays to have a fuel pump installed a year ago.

Give the guy a break, he is learning and I am trying to help him like a dsmer would do, not tell him to go find someone to help him. I gladly could have charged him but I gave him my shop/tools last weekend for him to do his brake rotors/lines/pads so he would learn and wouldn't get RAPED at a shop that charges $80 per corner. The kid wants to learn, not hear "have someone else do the work". Enough said.

Point being is why tell him to get help working on his car when he is capable of doing such work, just needs a little help from the rest of us. Its like you are too good for him but yet you were in the same fucking boat about a year ago. Its pretty pathetic...

Brian, if you need help, give me a call man. If you go to www.extremepsi.com and check out their HKS wastegates, they have a special gasket that goes up into the "valve". Not sure if this is to make it seal or what. I will call HKS tomorrow and find out what the deal is. If you find something let me know...

Aw that made me laugh. Basically, Jakes right about my view on things. I'd rather do things myself and learn how something is done. And Jake wasn't lieing, he didn't charge me a dime to use his shop and tools. This is not to say I'm not going to tip him or give him parts, but this is because I can and want to. I've learned that paying for breaks to be done is stupid.

Back on topic, before I go hack into something I'm unfamiliar with I do a quick search and create a new thread with the idea that somebody else will benifit from it in the future. I was unable to find any diagrams of hks wg's online so I called them to get an idea of what could be wrong. The guy working at hks was an idiot and didn't know a think about wg's. So after that, I decided to call a local hks distributor; MAP. I spoke with chris and he was nice enough to explain the simplicity of the hks wg briefly. So thanks Chris, unfortunatly I'm still a little stumped on what could be wrong after taking it all apart.

So if you feel the need to rant go for it, but I don't believe I've done anything wrong to get on anybody's bad side, if so please let me know.

Otherwise, any other advice or insight on the topic at hand would be fantastic. Thanks and happy 4th
