  1. get on to iddy and get a replacement man.thats not normal.
  2. I would do the stem seals regardless. I had a bad smoke issue and I did the valve stems seals first as I was sure it was that (compressions always bewn good so knew no issue there) and still remained.i did the valve stem seals in situ without removing head.i used the rope down bores method turned out the actuall issue was the stock ct9 I had was fooked.had it rebuilt and hybrided and all smoke stopped. g
  3. ohh dear thats jot good. got my clutch from there also.i got a 4 puck one
  4. all down to looking after and maintaining as these cars high performance at the end of the day. regular oil changes keeping an eye on afrs decent boost controller to stop over boosting a good tune and most important......warming car up and cooling down appropriately. very reliable cars when you do the abpve

  10. I would prob go with a corolla manifold from what I have read. afaik the 4efte gives more uptop power but ideally u want a nice linear increase throughout rather than peak punch.
