Thought you might like to see some pics of the process.. thanks for being understanding and patient. Bill

 

more pics,,, I had to put something here so it would take my uploads

 

MY POOOORRR BABY !!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill That is original R-12 system not 134a coverted, I have the Drop in replacement for it, let me know when your ready for it. R420A , hopefully we wont find any more surprises.

 

Why did you have to pull the engine? Did you have a leak or somthing?

 

I'm going thru TT withdrawl!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yea, we had oil leaks, the water pump shot, and knock sensor dead, the intake manifold would have to be pulled to do that so I pulled the engine to totally reseal, we are going to install a hard line kit for the waste gates, and replace knock sensor and knock sub-harness,, along with all new turbo water lines and vent hoses. makes for a much cleaner job.....

 

Bill do you have the means to pressure wash that engine bay with some engine cleaner or something! will make it less messy to re-install also, Do you figure ill have it back this week?

 

As you probably have seen already that has been done. Af I every pull a motor and the bay is dirty, it always gets pressure washed.

 

while that motors out i would take care of anything you wanted/will need to install/fix/swap that would require an engine pull and save some $$$$


but thats just me...

 

Well I think thats all been covered ( I HOPE) , since I popped in and saw those stainleess down pipes that just had to be added!

 

welll, down pipes can be done when ever, but as long as its on your mind, cool. haha, i was thinking more along the lines of if you ever watned to get a turbo upgrade, now's the time, or the timing belt, heads rebuilt, cams, any lower end work, nows the time. only, if you wanted to do it sometime though, im not suggesting you should or need to do this what so ever lol. looks good though. when you get it back it will be all nice and sparkle sparkle

 

Oh yea, the 120 k was done on it the det sensor and harness, some hard pipe thing and blah blah!! Connectors fuel lines ect...

 

OMG!!!!!!! Got the Toy back, sweeeet!

 

how does it feel now that you have it back??

lets hear some details...

 

well we only have it boosting to 12 ish right now till we get it back on the Dyno to check af/ fuel ratio, butttttttttt it is Damn fast, found the det sensor and harnesas bad, code 34, timing was off 5 degrees every hose , connector was brittle or broken so must have had but loads of leaks. Not to mention the oil leaks every where.

 

It's amazing what a new PCV valve will do for a TT! HAHAHA Hey Don glad you got it back man. Hope to see you at the meeting tuesday.

 

Hell Josh the Pvc's were the only thing that looked new LOL
