Re: Difficulty of removing turbo on 98 S70 GLT

Get the silicone. They are easy to work with durable and look better. If the cost is the same it is a no brainer.

Re: Mobil 1 0-40 for Higher Mileage T5-r?

I use Rotella T6 Synthetic and run my car hard a lot. I change the oil about every 6000 miles. It has 197k on it and runs like a top. It burns a little between changes, because I push it hard. Just check the oil when you fill up and add as necessary, In 6000 miles I burn about a quart. The reason I ...

Re: Possible rotor upgrade?

I use the Bosch Quiet Cast or the zinc coated Meyle. They don't rust and even after a hard winter on salted roads, they look brand new. They also seem to stop fine and the fit was perfect. Both can be found on FCP and they are not outrageously expensive.

Re: Help me diagnose power steering problem

I had a heavy steering issue and it ended up being the "u-joint" on the steering shaft (engine side of the firewall). I spray it with lube every time I service the car and it stays nice and free.

I had the same issue. The steering joint was the culprit. Replaced the coupling and it is perfect ...

Sounds like a good candidate for parting out. Turbo and all the IPD goodies would certainly get you the money you are looking for.

Good luck!

Re: how much power do i want this car to make??

19t will require green injectors, and a new tune at the very least. You should also consider a new higher flow fuel pump and an upgraded intercooler. A full stage zero is also necessary.

The tune is the most important element. If it is not good, you will bend rods.

Re: how much power do i want this car to make??

I'd do an IC before a RIP kit also.

I agree, I just don't see how it would add that much less heat to the intake. I'd love to see a dyno before and after installing the kit.

Bigger intercooler = less heat? The Do88 website does a pretty comprehensive job of explaining it. http://www.do88.se/en ...
