Got my girl back today. After her little stint at the shop, she builds boost but has a whole new sling of problems. Put another gt25 in but the waste-gate actuator is bad. Getting fuel cut is not fun. I'm missing one of the bolts on the exhaust side of the turbo so its got a bad exhaust leak...
This 100%. The last 9 months has been hell for me just trying to boost my car. The damn thing still isn't able to be driven. My hope is fading fast now. Almost ready to give up.
Just got back from a week long vacation. PM's replied to!
"Still have rear MSP lip?"
Rear lip is still available.
"What was wrong with the car that caused the PO to sell it?"
I bought the car in great condition, it just had a hole in the block so I've been using some of the parts for my P5...
I'll check on the solenoid. And BIGANT, I'm trying to keep the block together so I'm not parting it out unfortunately.
I'm trying to fun my P5 build so please make offers on anything! Prices negotiable.
My GT25 waste gate glad was bent 90 degrees open when the arm was in the resting/closed position. Instead of buying a new turbo, my solution was banging the arm with a hammer so that when the waste gate is closed its at the correct direction. Going to replace the gaskets and pop everything back...
Ok I see the strut bar brackets. I guess I never looked hard enough to notice them haha. I've got all the bolts and brackets so feel free to come and pick it up if its easier for you!
I'm in the west end of Richmond. As far as I know the strut bar doesn't have any brackets on my P5 or this donor but I'll double check. I think it just bolts on. I'll get out to the car after I run some errands.
So right now I'm looking for a reliable/reasonable way to ship(Fedex and UPS are't working out). Manifold is gone. Side skirts still available. Harness is something I could probably ship reasonably.
