Ok, time to bring this thread back

I can't do anywork this week (if you look at my other thread) because I have finals next week.[:@]

But I only have to write 2 so I'm going to be getting the T5, all my parts, and swapping them all over once I get the stang to a good place to work on it (might do it at my fathers because he has lots of tools or in a driveway[8D])

Octane booster only boosts it about 1-3 rattings... so I'll be running 90 at the most, and I work in the city (30 minutes away) 3 days a week and 94 right in front of me

This way I fixed my valve cover. Like you keep popping out and also gasket would not seal. Would leak oil. I took a brass bushing threaded it into the hole and then fittings solder to go to the rear breather. Had to offset it anyway because of the larger throttle body.

More parts

Today I went and bought an o2 sensor, and a ECT. Cost me $87, and I'm waiting for them to send me a transmission modulator for a 88 TC A4LD. Auto is staying for a little while since I wanna drive my car again (plus its a DD and I can't get a good T5[:@])

Anyways I got new plans. On Monday I'm sending $235 to get a LA3 computer, Large VAM, #35 injectors, and a TC intercooler (going to mount it up front) then I'm going to be buying a brand new bobs log 3rd gen $325 ([:@][:@][:@])

Anyways, some pictures of the new ECT and o2 sensor (since I'm bored lol)

Went and started the cartoday and put some 94 octan and gas treament in. She fired right up and same crappy vacuum issue was there[:@] Oh well. Im getting the transmission modulator on tuesday and I plan on putting it in on next sunday (only time I can)

Then I'll go for a test drive and see if the boosting issue is fixed. If not then I guess I killed some things and I'll know what I got then[8D]
