Another noob I know....

[Drop n' Go]

Yea I know I have a karting forum that I get on a lot and I know the been there talked about that side of things.

I do like the MK3's because my stepbrother had one once five speed twin turbo I think...not sure, but the thing was fasssstttt. I know about the head gasket issue and I heard someone say that's a 1k job?? How can that be unbolt take off put on bolt back right? Isn't the head gasket in between the valve and head or is that block and head? Thanks guys

Oh budget is probally (and I know this is low) but maybe SixK invested after everything atleast six for next year but I probally won't have much more than that. I'll check out the MK3's buying tips too!

ok with a 6k budget, your gonna be looking for an mk3

i wish the headgasket was a simple unbolt, replace and put back together type of job

but the best solution to this problem is replacing it with a diffrent headgasket, a metal one preferably

and with that, the block has to be machined flat
or otherwise the metal headgasket wouldnt seal right
and you will have the same issues as a blown headgasket

Ok yea but depends on if I get the 20k I want for joining the National Guard (if you want to join go through me once I'm in I'll get you an extra 1k!) so yea it's up in the air right now. I'll just keep looking around. Thanks though for the replys!

are they gonna give you the 20k in cash?
im not really into the armed forces thing, but i get them mad props for doing what they do

but regarding your first question
about turbos, wastegate, intercooler and all that
you can find a lot of info on the web
jus be patient and read up

i have a friend like that
and i literally have to draw on a chalkboard to show him how it works

Don't think it'll be cash but it'll be somehow who cars lol. I don't think i'd be that about don't need a chalkborad (I hate chalk anyway dry erase is better lol) to explain what it is everyone on here is talking about. I just want to learn about the turbo and intake process what does what when and all the good stuff. I might just build up a Miata but don't know how much you can get out of that car though...
