do you know if there are seals inside the turbo for the coolant passages? i'm guessing there aren't but my turbo was doing that with oil because of bad seals.

yea i probably will lower it later, but i'll just put the camber bolts in when i put the springs in too. for the dust boots: do the tokicos come with them or do i have to buy some? if i do have to buy them, are they all the same? or do i need ones specific for the tokico's? are there gaskets between...

Tokico Blue struts

I just order a set of tokicos, i'm just going to run stock springs for now since it is a daily driver and it snows here. Anyways, what else should i get while i'm redoing the suspension? I'm thinking: dust boots thrust bearings (are they only on the front or all four?) anything else i should replace...

use a long breaker bar to get leverage.

if you have a 5 speed put it in gear and have someone else hold the brake down all the way while you wrestle with the nut.

your stering rack will go out a heck of alot faster if you just remove the pump, or disconnect the belt. as its not made to run like that. its best to do it rite. i was going to look into the 323 manual rack, but have other projects going on rite now. You do have to pull the motor to change racks r...

i'd run it this way BLOCK -> TB -> TURBO ->BLOCK the lines on the TB just adjust the IACV to let a different amount of air by. i don't think the coolant temp would increase at all if you passed it through the TB so it would still be cool when it gets to the turbo. if you send the coolant to the turb...
