I'm no mechanic by any measure but i intend on building my own engine at some point over the next few months. got everything i need apart from a bearing set as i don't know if the crank will require regrinding or not- need to get the block head and crank off to machine shop when i have the time...
I run essentially the same as the above on both my GT's. never had a problem, likely you just got a bad one unfortunately Just try another slimline fan, most 12" slimline rad fan will fit and they're usually less than £20. Still sucks though...
I'd run 1.1 bar daily and 1.4 bar scramble for lols. personal preference really. I would aim for a 1 bar spring in the wastegate and use your ebc to fine tune it to the desired boost. the ebc is much more accurate than purely running off spring pressure and you should also see some better power curves etc when using electronic actuation vs spring pressure. Might want to look into gain values etc on the ebc to get the best out of it. never ran a pbs2 so can't advise on setting it up.
Yeah i think that depends on the clocks more than anything, i wouldn't worry about that too much. just if its sluggish etc you want it to be accurate or you'll get caught speeding :/
Got a Tongs on one of my GT's but previously had a speedvision on my glanza. Tongs is far better than speedvision in my opinion. spools faster and pulls harder.
