    P2188 - The source of the problem

    Are you on a k04 and stock fuel system? Your MAF is maxing out which is bad. Did you get a replacement at any point?

    I wish there was a cry react. I know the heart is going to live on but I'd probably actually cry if I were you. I know machines cant love us back but I get attached to certain ones. I'm sure you must feel somehow attached to it after that many miles on it, work in it, trips in it, etc. Excited...

    What turbo do i buy?

    Yes there is a V2 of the CS. the V1 (which I was using) had way too small of a wastegate and hit 24 psi with the wastegate held open in 70* weather. Unacceptable. The V2 has a larger wg which supposed eliminates the issue I had. I would do the S3

    andale927's PTE 5558 Gen 2 Build (Built Engine)

    I think your assessment is correct with stem seals (or possibly worn guides as well) I have bad stem seals or worn out guides on one of my bikes. Mine doesnt smoke much under decel, but if it sits for a while it will intermittently smoke like a 2 stroke on start up. I can also see oil pooled on...

    Engine Stand - Where do the bolts go?

    My motorcycle wheel has only one! :fearscream: But really 250+ lbs supported on one end seems like a lot. I'm sure it's fine but that seems like a lot of shear? stress on the bolts

    Engine Stand - Where do the bolts go?

    I'm a fan of the socket spacer Also this is breaking my brain. Seems like a ton of weight for 4 bolts.

    225/45 R18 tire questions

    My quick google comparing tire sizes shows a 3.6% difference. It's a larger tire, so the speedo will read about 3.6% low. When 60 is indicated youre going about 62-62.5. I would run the stock pressure, but I'll let someone who knows more answer that one.

    Welcome! I had my car where yours was (just with a test pipe and tmic too) with an e30 tune and it was a ton of fun. Kind of wish I stopped there power wise lol

    I can't find my logs, but I'm fairly sure my k04 car was not quicker than yours 60-100 in the balls of summer. And it did not make over 300 whp on the latest v dyno cf 1.01 smoothing 3. So I think you're beating a stock turbo car.

    I overfilled mine slightly too. I checked the oil before heading up to detroit and it was pretty close to the min mark (I almost always check it like 10 min after a drive, but figured I could guestimate close enough and that seemed low) So I was like shit. This is it. It's starting to drink it...

    About to do Some Maintenance/Upgrades... Need Help

    There are at least 2 different kinds of clips on my gen 2. I have a bag of the huge ones that cost like $10 at the dealer. I'll send you one if you need it. The smaller ones I got from AutoZone "help" brand I think that said "mazda" on the box. I run 18x8.5 +48 on 235 and it fits just fine. On...

    I remember from a while ago your goal was to do 60-100 in 3rd. So you working on plumbing a pi system to really let it rip?

    Built Engine BNR S5 build

    Depends on what year your wg is from it appears, but green + blue + black looks correct if your gate is made after 1/16/2012
