i got 1y in min, read the wiki etc on it, converted from a na so the little power increase was hardly noticable, the torques is great though, 65mph at 45MPG all day, im happy. if your not fitting the turbo you need loada NA plumbin, too much hastle imo, get a AAZ and enjoy the extra bhps. good luck ...

stupid question im sure, but do you mean et 35 is more. The wheels Ive found ar et 50 6.5j 16. was thinking that a 20mm spacer will sort them out and fit them well

Thanks

If therefore I want to fit some wheels with et 50 I'll need a 20mm to bring the et to 30

imo you wil most likely need longer studs on the back to fit em if they are alloys. I would reccommed converting to studs on the front too makes fitting wheels a breeze :)

Mine sits just over the light in the middle. Always has, even with its 1y in. goes up abit for hils thats it.

So new engine == new sender.

Where does the temp guage get its reading from? If theres a sender on the rad, then this sender (like sukhoi27 suggests) cud be the problem?
