dont worry, i was expecting to the "use the search" response because over at LS1Tech.com, nobody likes to search and all the n00b's get flamed. Thanx for not flaming me.

About the BHG issue, is there anyway i could torque it down myself.....maybe?

You guys have been very helpful.

Is there any diference in the mkiii motors to the mkIV motors. Also the transmissions?

***SuprraGirl.....was taking a look at your build pics, the car looks amazing but, it doent look like you put alot of clearcoat over the metallic yellow. It's probably just the picture but the paint doesnt look very smooth. VERY NICE RIDE. How much horsepower are looking to put down at XXPSI?

the w58 trannie is "basically" the same but not totally but change the bellhousing and it will bolt up

that's the end of the similarities between the mk3 and mk4

my car still has a few bits which need more paint on them as they missed but there is slight colour problems which probly at the end of this year i will get the whole car repainted again but it will do for now

once i've upgraded the compressor housing on the turbo i plan to get my goal of 400whp on 15psi

Weird, I thought Road & Track tested the MKIII @ 14.3, that's with an automatic. Anywayz, the MKIII & MKIV definitely have heritage but are 2 seperate entities. As far as resonsiveness to modification, they respond well. Especially to exhaust modification. Their transmissions (manual) and drivetrains are very robust, as well as their bottom-end, which has been know to support 600+ HP (fairly reliably). If you get one, don't even think about changing the cams because they can support up to 700 HP.
