FD goin in for a hose job & injector rebuild, anything else I should do?
Well, my car is gonna go to rotary power for a hose job and injector rebuild by RC engineering. I was wondering what else they should look for while the'yre working on the car. Coolant hoses to the turbos? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Oh, BTW, my boost patterns are like this: 10-5-10 (but second turbo doesn't hold boost....right after 10 it drops to about 7psi until redline.) Plus when changing gears reall quikc, it seems to not get any boost and all of a sudden it "remembers" right before 2nd turbo kicks in.

The turbo coolant lines are an excellent idea, also have the check/change your fuel pulsation dampner, radiator hoses, thermostat, and solenoids. This won't take very long if they already have the manifold off the car. I'd change the fuel pulsation dampner if you've never done it before, after time it goes bad and leaks fuel on your engine.

Thanks Eric, actually the pulsation dampner is pretty new. Around 7000 miles on it. But I guess I'm just gonna tell him to notify me of any other possible problems. I'm friends with the mechanic so I trust his judgement and so far he's been really good with my car. Any other suggestions?

depending on how many miles you've got on your car, you might consider replacing your engine wiring harness if you haven't already. as far as boost, check you CHECK VALVES. make sure that they're all going the right direction. well have fun and good luck...

how's about fixin' that EGR? 
... and, if you're car is going to be out of comission for a while, maybe jet-hot your downpipe. $60 + $20 for return shipping + $15 or so to ship it to Mississippi. Supposedly only takes a week (granted, mine still isn't back and it's been 3 weeks, but they evidently ran into problems in the middle of mine).
... and roll your fender lips.
