And what about finding a suitable vacuum source for the electronic boost controller? Would this go just on the other side of the throttle body on the intake manifold?

so you split the line from the turbo nipple to the wastegate?

So does the boost controller only have one inlet that runs to the turbo nipple, the other venting into the atmosphere? Or do you have to run a pipe out of the boost controller to the exhaust?

Okay, so ive been researching like a thing that researches a lot, and ive got some questions: 1.) An external wastegate goes in place of the internal wastegate and fits one end over the nipple at the induction to turbo side and then has a dump pipe which goes ..... to the exhaust manifold? Or...

I've been doing masses of research on turbocharging and how to turbo, but I'm not sure if i'm overthinking this whole mod far too much. I've designed a full new intake manifold and exhaust manifold, as well as redesigned the airbox and throttle body position all to accommodate for a turbo, but...

And that pipe that I attached the oil breather filter to was definetely the oil breather pipe ....?

Oh god ... hahaha it wouldn't be one of the tubes filtering into that vacuumed space on top of the intake box on top of the engine, would it? And I assume the air is piped to a point past where the oil breather filter pipe is placed? Otherwise the crankcase would be being flushed-out with air...

True .... would they both necessarily be on top of the engine?

Would it be possible that there is only one line coming out of the crankcase because it's a 4-cylinder engine and so they combined the breather hose and the pcv .....?

Where is the pcv valve ......? I can see the oil breather pipe on the back right and the fuel injectors on a rail below it, as well as the coil packs on the front of the cylinder head, but there's no valves that suggest they might be a pcv .....

The only problem is that the gear stick isn't a screw on; its a slide on. Not only that, but the gear stick is encased inside a black box which covers the gear pulleys; not to mention there's a console cover that surrounds the handbrake and the gear-stick as one unit, and I can't seem to get it...

How did you get the black box off from around the gear stick? Both the one that goes around the gear stick and the handbrake and the one above the gear pulleys

good call: they do look nearly identical :)

is it the same type of roll bar?

And as for the bushings? Would they just be direct replacements or would any unviersal aftermarket bushings do provided they were the right kind?

Just spark plugs really: i was getting some denso iridium ones to replace the old plugs and all the prices were the same regardless of engine size, so i was just wondering ... also, the car uses coil packs so the only way to modify them would be to buy bigger coil packs I suppose, but again it...

So the ecu would just run the bigger parts the same as it would the normal parts?

This is just theoretical as much as it is a practical question, but if one were to use parts for a bigger engine such as spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel pumps, etc ... would the ecu just use those parts in the same way as it would parts for the correct engine size and make no difference in how...

is this just the price range or is it honest handling comparison betweem aftermarket and standard anti roll bars?

Eibach do anti-roll bars which i'm certain are universal ...... their pro-kit lowering springs lower the car by 25mm so it's not too much of an issue, not to mention the wheels i use are 15" and so relatively small. But would the roll bars replace the standard anti roll bars on the car, or...
