  1. I cut the bracket and off the retainer and move it so the alignment is correct then tig it back on.I've also found you usually need to cut the bracket on the 90deg bend between the mounting face and the upright and tweak it then reweld to get the alignment bang on.
  2. Lol "stock"
  3. K's since last Trans service? Looks okay. Fine paste in small quantities is okay,large chunks and non metallic bits is bad.
  4. Andrew where are you located?
  5. Who quoted you that? If that's truly labour to r&I the cradle that's absurd. 3 to 4 hrs is ample time to r&I and replace the 3 diff mounting bushes.
  6. turbo and chill? :wink:
  7. ^ @MattyP
  8. Have you thought about the overall effect on effective duration caused by the duo phasing on the FG cams?
  9. Freaky you're my best Frenemy
  10. ID had issues with the ID1500's back in the day. No issues these days with any of their range. They are considered (rightly) the premium Injector for performance applications.
  11. Yeah just apply 275% trim on the back two cylinders... Yeah I figured that, was just playing along since it's Friday n all.
  12. More difficult than a stock standard run of the mill tune, but highly doable. We'll soon find since Turboknapp has a set of bumpity bump sticks ready to go into the blue meanie. BA Non FPV have a set offset between the intake and exhaust cam. BF and FG have dual VCT so cam position relative to each other can be changed in relations to each out (ie overlap) Technically it's Exhaust Cam position relative to Intake.
  13. higher lift and duration = more air in the motor. That's going to help response and consequencly power. Maxing duration/lift with out exceeding overlap the PCM can control is going to provide benefit over stock cams.
  14. Did you contact ID about that issue? Im sure they would like to know.
  15. Gay inunendo again.....Really?
  16. I need to get the GTX on the F6 proper before I think about playing with anyone's rear end, and before I do that i've got a turbo converted primered Xt that needs sorting and before I do that I need to get some sleep at some stage. The good news is the Barra patrol is done for the time being. I think I also need to crimp some battery cables on a blue shed ornament over the weekend as well.
  17. Here I am just minding my own business and I get drawn into some sort of diff bush challenge?
  18. Many many people have been burnt by precisions turbos customer support. (anecdotal evidence)
  19. Flex plate or oil pump gears as a stab in the dark guess
  20. FG housings are less prone to cracking.
  21. Seriously? Anecddotal evidence for about the last 8yrs suggest the turbine housing has a higher nickel content and is less prone to cracking.
  22. something something, rocker cover garnish something...
  23. Skids? Also dat battery cable termination block....
