The CR shift boot is a nice touch. Should make you slide hard. Keep up the momentum.

Looks like an electric water pump, so no thermostat needed. Pump works off a temp sensor, or ecu output etc.

i need to check my motor right there. ive been looking all over trying to find my oil leak and its literally right in that area. i thought i was blowing out oil filter seals, or maybe the filter pedestal was just loose.

good ****.

Just blew my motor doing the same ****.

S4's landings are paper, REW's landings are thick as ****. I was thinking about stacking a weld around the landing to add strength myself. Maybe think about it yourself

The housings crack from detonation. Yeah you can get housings with the beefier dowel area, but you still need to fix the problem or you'll just break whatever is next in line.

Did you over boost??? or not tuned for the high boost???

looks like you have a good fuel pump but maybe not enough fuel... the aeromotive a1000 is **** and flow crazy volume of fuel
