    Anyone try Bilstein struts with Swift Springs?

    Are you asking about Bilstein B8 with Swift Spec R Springs? I know people run them and that they are a known good combo. I have that exact setup waiting to be installed on my car.

    Bought not Built

    Sweet new DD! I did my front wheel bearings a couple years ago and used the Harbor Freight kit. Pressed them in and out no problem I didnt have a bench at the time so I ended up working on the floor with my vise bolted to some home made speed ramps. Getting the snap ring in and out of the...

    BNR s4 smoking/bad turbo?

    So your leak down test is showing that #3 has the worst result of your cylinders. Your compression test is a bit uneven as well with 1 and 3 showing 210 psi. If I were to take a guess based on my experience I wouldn't be surprised if you find that cylinder #3 is wet with oil if you look in...

    BNR s4 smoking/bad turbo?

    Good old cylinder #3, those leak down numbers aren't looking that great to me honestly based on what I've been through. If you have access to a bore scope I'd pull the plugs and take a peek inside your cylinders.

    BNR s4 smoking/bad turbo?

    So on the note of oil restrictor bolts and such.... You might find that interesting. Not saying that's the cause of your issues. When you had the intake manifold off did you see any evidence of oil in the manifold?

    BNR s4 smoking/bad turbo?

    OP you say cylinder leak down was all green but what were the actual percentages of leak down. The reason I ask is I was in the green also on a known good Snap On leak down tester. If I recall correctly 30% was still in the green. However 25%-30% leak down is not a good result at all. @Enki I...

    Fuel Pressure Drops, Car stalls

    What brand of MAF sensor did you use? Do you have HPFP internals in the car? I believe the car will actually idle off of just in tank pump pressure. @Enki correct me if I'm wrong on that one. It does look like your HPFP is functioning though. Also pretty much everyone here will tell you not...
