Moved? where to? and good luck with the recovery

So, Ive been on and off this forum, and the OG forum for quite a while.. Ive know the general stuff about our cars and the "correct" ways to do things. I know that in the beginning, in like 09, everybody was blowing engines and going big turbo 3076.. now hpfp, correct oil, no boost on stock...

@Enki thank you for the advice! I guess its not really worth the effort since e85 is so convenient and on a k04. I know that back in the day. STI and evo's had a intercooler spray system i think.. I was researching using my windshield wiper tank and filling it with ice water.. and spraying...

So, noob here, bear with me lol. I kicked the idea around about adding a meth kit.. Stock engine.. stock turbo. e85 right up the road from my house.. So why would i want a meth kit? (daily driver by the way) -keep things a bit cooler.. -clean the valves a bit.. now for the...

OLD PROJECT BUMP... its been 6 years.. any update on this thing? was it ever completed? scrapped? anybody ever hear what happened?

noob here. but what are some good crank case ventilation mods you did? pcv and occ ? are these necessary for a stock turbo, or mainly for big turbo builds?

This is pretty crazy! from not knowing about cars to basically an entire rebuild of the car, AND painting it is pretty nuts.. did you get worried about trying to figure out how to put it all back together? also, how did you get the car from inside the garage to outside and back in, when it was...

how long does it usually take to clean the valvues? is this your daily driver or do you have a plan b car if something happens? also, do you run a catch can or it is not really worth it?

so i remember the member impossible. i think he was building a high HP car, but i haven't heard really anything sense.. i haven't been active on this forum too much, sorry if im out of the loop... anybody know whats up with the car build? edited.. nevermind, i just found a video on youtube...
