lol......i guess its better then the autozone racing filter....lol.....but anyway i will check for stored codes tomorrow b4 work.....

i just picked up a used autometer phantom boost guage from my buddies at illgarage for 20 bucks ! now i will be able to see what psi it breaks up at....do all mk3 turbos come with factory boost guages? mine doesnt. now i just have to fix my oil psi guage! lol

if it helps i just found out its a jdm motor with new head gasket torqued to the new specs. any difference in the usdm & jdm motor besides the missing egr valve?

Not looking to hijack here but +1 on getting a decent (read-:PROVEN decent) filter. Just seen a turbo that's been run a few months on a K&N just like the one fitted to my 7m-gte & lets just say it ain't pretty!

I mean, I was under the honest impression that K&N was a fair bet but if you saw the dings & chunks of metal missing off this impeller you'd have thought someone ran gravel through the thing... :eek3::barf:The shopping list grows!

^^^ Yup, dust at the speed the impeller is moving is like making the turbo gargle B-Bs on weekends... it takes its toll quickly.
