    Good to know about Jason, I'm off on vacation for the next 8 days, looking forward to change in the feel of the car after the tuning process. Jason recommended I avoid the 4th gear pull and go with a 3rd gear to avoid the added stress on my already weakened engine Sent from my SM-G930T using...

    Compression test kit

    Distance and money will definitely play a role, fj is 5 hours away and ebtec is 12.5... definitely leaning towards fj, but probably won't get to it until end of the year for financial reasons Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    @VTMongoose thanks for the reply man, lets plan on the 27th! @Jason@DizzyTuning is going to help me out with the tune and I am already starting to think about an engine rebuild. It looks like speed performance and FJ performance are pretty close to me. Are they on this forum at all? I <3 Nator

    Compression test kit

    is there an easy way for me to check PCV fuctionality besides removing it ? there was a very small amount of oil on the spark plug number 1, Im thinking it is due to a minor leak in the valve cover gasket since I didnt replace it when I did the VVT job last month.

    Compression test kit

    I've heard of issues with and low quality associated with local part store loaners, I would rather use a more expensive one that is truly accurate in order to get an honest idea of the state of my engine.
