Well after 3-4 weeks of removing water pumps, thermostat housings, throttle body, UIM fuel injectors, omp lines and squirters and all those stupid little 20year old vacuum lines. I AM FINISHED. had a little argument with the fuel line after everything was 2 gether again, but problem solved. and replaced all the gaskets and and vac lines anf fuel lines and oil lines. and zero problems idle is perfect and boost doesnt leak/hesistate

and to think i did all this because the threads in the thermostat housing were stripped


MAIN THING- i did this all using the little SEARCH feature so all you newbies should learn how to use it 1st

 

It's true, many many things have been discussed to at least some extent in this section, searching is very helpful.
