    Turbo removal question...

    http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/turbo/turboreplace.html You shouldn't lose any oil by disconnecting the oil lines. Other than maybe a few drops or so. There's no pressure buildup in those lines unless the engine is running. HTH:)

    120 lb valve springs

    Well, it's common knowledge that the more spring pressure used, the less life the stock cam will have. Far more experienced fellas than myself have real reservations about using heavy springs with the stock cam in our cars. 100lb. springs...maybe. 110lb. springs...not me.:)

    What is this?!?!

    John Craig (1-520-453-7321) Guarded info? PTE had no idea? Sounds to me like they didn't try very hard to help you. Call John & tell him what's going on. He won't let you down. It's entirely possible that the housing itself has been "clocked", & that might be contributing to...
