I can assure you we don't tune aggressively, especially on pump fuel.

And our dyno reads a few horsepower less than other local dynos. I mean literally a few, like 3-4 usually.

Then thats a really good tune considering the PSI. Nice job

It's a 2.5" I bought from SRT. Catless

Oil would collect on top of the head and then "spill over" and drip down the side. Apparently it's a somewhat common issue and the fix is running 2 crush washers

So I took a look under their oil line Where you told me to look for and sadly I encountered dirty oil build up in that area, but not necessarily from the line... it seemed like it was coming from the the cylinder head. The silicone around it was dealing off like bubble gum... so now I have an oil leak at the scavenger pump at the camplate, top of the head, and oil pan! Have you encountered numerous oil leaks like me?

Kind of. It started with very slight oil burning smell at the occasional red light and very small drips of oil on my garage floor. I thought it was the cam plate, but redoing it a few times left me with the same occasional oil drip. By fluke when I was replacing my injectors, I found a small oil deposit by the oil pickup line on top of the block. After Redoing the high temp Teflon on the threads and stacking 2 fresh crush washers, the problem was solved. The reason I mentioned it earlier was because I thought for sure it was a valve cover gasket too, but redoing that oil tap fixed it. Before storing the car a few months ago, I'm at about 10,000km with no leaks.

Did yours look something like this basically?

Yeah pretty much. At it's worst, a little pool would form in those ribbed areas where the 220 number is stamped. Under braking, cornering or acceleration it would trickle down the head and drip onto the exhaust. It literally burnt through the ceramic coating on top of my overpipe.

Ok guys, I'm starting to get worried. I've been driving yesterday on the German Autobahn with around 200 km/h ( ~120 miles/h for the imperial guys) for an extended period of time. I wanted to check oil levels when I got home and noticed, that the intake pipe, is again a little bit oily.


I'm talking about this area. (old pic without breather tank)



So this is a picture I took after I've been tracking the car without the AVO breather kit. So this is rather extreme and it haven't been oiled up like this yesterday.

Is it normal to be a little bit oily/wet even though the breather tank is installed?

The breather tank is designed to catch the majority of the fumes, but if you are doing extended 120mph runs, there is probably so much oily fumes going through there that a bit of the oil is going to make it past.

Hey guys does anyone know the specs on the bolts used here?

[Revzyuu]

Does anyone happen to know the bolt size that bolts the oil case to the turbo? Mines seems to have fallen out at some point and is now caused an miniscule oil leak thats burned through a good bit of tubing for my boost controller and the hose that feeds the turbo directly. Sad to see its deteriorated the coat parts of the compressor housing as well

Blah.

Anyone have experience with intakes? Currently I have the TRD CAI, but I know this will not work with the AVO kit. I remember seeing a post that said with the Perrin intake it pushes the pipe too close to the pulley or something?

Any recommendations for a CAi or just a regular intake?

[protpibe]

Functionally, the stock air box with a panel filter is good until 350whp iirc. I run the Perrin because the turbo sounds better. It sounds ricer but it's the truth haha

the perrin Cai doesn't give you any fitment problems with the pulleys? idk why, but for some reason I worte that it had that problem when i was doing research on different intakes. maybe I just read somethign wrong
