Not sure why you're telling us to calm down when called out on a dick move, but ok you do you.

Just buy this and be done

Lol. How do you plan on using the CGA when you already know the state of the car at time of purchase?

Why not 3.8m8 it? -

Technically yes, but you'd have to be the most pedantic prick to pull it up on it- 20 replies

Flush the block, fit the biggest radiator you can, wack in a 78 or 82C thermostat, run a 1/3 mix of HD antifreeze and a bottle of redline water wetter and you should easily keep the temps in check. They'll take a bar of boost all day as long as the turbo and intercooler are up to the task. Engine life won't be affected if it's in good health and you keep up with maintenance.

I can't recall the brand of the one I was gonna get, which is annoying me, but it was about $400 and combined EGT, boost and whatever additional temp sensor into one unit. I think the scales could be adjusted too Edit: this might be the one I'm thinking of, if not it's very similar. https://www.redarcelectronics.co.nz/monitoring-gauges-g52-bet

You know it's a K series, right? It's already as disgusting as it can get

It's on the lvvta website, can't recall want it is off the top of my head

I usually outsource that stuff but they're easy as fuck. Just pull the end off and whip out the old pack, clean the whatever it's called the brushes run on with fine Emery tape and chuck in the new pack. Good to go. -
+1 for outsourcing. Some jobs just aren't worth your time.
-
Unless you're running something crazy high powered, your oil pressure should be quite significantly higher than your boost pressure anyway so there shouldn't be air leakage into the oil supply while running
-
Because they can. Just put a tone wheel on your crankshaft already. The freeplay in the drive between crank and dizzy is going to be greater than any inaccuracy caused by low tooth count anyway.
-
It really makes no difference. You could run four teeth and still be sweet. If you're after all the kilowatts and screaming it out to 12k, running sequential injection and CoP then yeah, higher resolution could give you an advantage (depending on the ECU), but otherwise there's no need to overcomplicate things.
-
Why so many teeth? Just run 12 and you'll be mint.
-
Ah yeah V belt. Probably not then.
-
Is there an edge on the crank pulley that you can cut the teeth directly into? That's what I'm doing on mine since I don't want the tone wheel way out the front
-
I believe centering rings are required, and you can't redrill from 4 to 5 stud or vice versa, but redrilling the same stud count is ok. I think.

^ Yup start with that. Smoke test if you can, spray brakleen around if you can't. Faulty PCV valves can also do funny things at idle too, pays to whip a new one in while you're at it. -

They move constantly. If you've ever watched the live data on a VVTi car, they dance around all over the show.
