So I live in Phx AZ where emission have to be done so I cant really delete my EGR valve but what I can do is go the unplug route, I just have 1 concern... Once the EGR gets unplugged I'm assuming all that gunk that would be finding a nice home on my valves will now just start to build up and my...

I’d obviously like to do as much preventative maintenance on my Speed3 as I possibly can and I was just wondering what the general feeling is on installing the aftermarket Banjo bolt onto our k04 turbos??? Is it at all beneficial or is it a bad idea? I have read that you should only do it if...

So after noticing coolant everywhere, I discovered a pin size hole in one of my coolant tank hoses (one of the 3 hoses connected to the coolant tank).. anyhow No big deal. I removed the hose and took it to AutoZone so that they could measure out and cut me a new hose, at least, that was the...
