I'd love to replace it, but $1000 for parts+labor just isn't in the cards right now. |

OTOH why not sell the header to recoup some additional costs from bumping up to a higher quality kit? |

But, do you really need the PCV valve if you have a Check Valve already on a catch can? This is the one thing I'm still not sure about to this day.

For a daily driver clutch they recommended an Exedy stage 1, but that was backordered so I ended up with a Competition stage 2. They also recommended the Verus clutch fork and pivot. The stock fork is prone to failure, especially with stiffer aftermarket pressure plates. The parts are around $200 and very little extra labor to install during a clutch job. Worth it for reliability in my book. As for Motul; It's a noticeable improvement. I doubt you need to change the gear oil early because of the turbo, but I highly recommend you give Motul a try when you change it. |

People love to say how weak these engines are, yet there have been as many or more rod failures on stock power levels as on boost which SHOULD lead a logical mind to the probability that it was a quality control issue rather than a generally weak rod issue. Especially considering that many have gotten over 400 on stock blocks without issues. The problem with a quality control issue though is that it's a crap shoot when adding power. Although if you were unlucky enough to get the shitty rods, it's just as likely that running it stock will have the same end result, so whatever. I would love to see how much power can be gotten with just a rod upgrade and some ring gap. I would bet over 500 reliably. I have my first engine that, (on stock power levels), spun a rod bearing, which I eventually plan on doing the above to to find out what it will handle. Jaden |

You could probably save some money on the radiator with a CSF unit. I've got one on my car and it keeps great temperatures in traffic and on the track. Never even come close to overheating whereas my car overheated here in the south from the factory. They actually produce the Jackson Racing oil cooling radiator as well.

With the way the Radium kit actually ended up being fitted, it had I believe 3/8 hose running into the PCV valve fitted to the manifold which is a 1/2 fitting, so the PCV valve is still used because it converts from a the 1/2 to a 3/8 on the other end if that makes sense? The instructions for the dual catch cans were extremely unclear. I ended up needing to run to the auto parts store for more hose
