Thanks platmatt8 I have searched through ebay i could buy a universal kit at £80+ but im sure i will only need two pipes and would be alot cheaper to buy individually. The only solid pipes i have come across have the bov fitti...

Re: Rev 2 turbo LSD gear oil

Thanks gazza,
This meets gl4 and gl5 requirements. I read gl5 may possibly damage the syncros?? But this was quite an old forum post.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Indicators not working...?

I dont know if you have sorted this but could be a faulty or unplugged hazard light switch. I had it a few years ago. The alarm fod sends its own feed to the lights so this often still works.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Con rods!!

If you havent put it back together, i'd strongly look into not using a sleeved block. They never work on the 3S and i've only heard of 1-2 not failing. Your best bet is to source a 98 NA block with the strengthened water pump corner and denser material and stick to 86mm pistons. Thanks for your adv...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Con rods!!

Thanks guys.

Engine just been re sleeved and has 86mm JE forged pistons among other goodies.

So i will save myself the expense of rods for now. Even better if i dont have to upgrade the bolts. I cant find any cases of the oem bolts failing which is promising.
