  1. collapsed valve?----spring broken? what you mean by collapsed worn stem/tip or worn lobe?
  2. Not good timing lol. But she's been great until say past 6months. Haven't had to put much into her. She's been a great car. Got me thru so much snow and to work in all situations. Anyways---back to the misfire stuff----currently bouncing between threads and fb and such brainstorming which road to take. If I do undertake a repair I want to refresh as much as possible even if I can't go the route of more power. I'd like peace of mind for a couple years.
  3. check compression imo. i kept getting 302, and swapped ignition setup to cyl 4, which made cyl2 worse, then ignition back to cyl 2, and still idle miss, and then swapped 2 and 4 injectors, still missed at idle. gets better at load or part throttle (1000+ rpm or better, and mis seems to disappear, as not as bad and not showing up on cobb roughness read, but still a dead cylinder basically), but unplug and plug in coil while running, same with injector and no change to idle. ended up checking compression and found cyl 2 at 50 psi at b est. cyl 4 gave me 125 psi. vac leak checked and none found. no leaks found during spraying it all and watching a/f data and rpm, etc. yet didnt have ability to grab a better scan tool to watch fuel trims. avcs and oil control valves etc would all cause both cylinders on that bank to act poorly right? very informative thread. just read all 35 pages this am. theres a few ppl i wanna ask on a more personal level what they spent on repairs, and if thats cool can we do it via pm if you dont want it publicly? financially unsure if i can swing the deal to keep and repair the car. but i wont knock the car. i love my lgt. bought it in dec 09 with 40k or less on it. now in september 14, it has 145k and has been great to me. no issues until recently. car is just now starting to need repairs in various spots. hell my roll center kit endured 90k plus miles and 4 yrs of dc commuting. oem turbo and engine. catless exhaust pipes, turbo inlet and spt intake and stg2 ots cobb tune. been good to me. yea it has blowby or excessive crankcase oil coming into pcv etc. now im looking at engine related repair or replacement etc with further diag yet still lein on her. (got a job further away than when i bought the car. never figured shed see so many miles so fast)
  4. Pending where you're located I use carworx. Some ppl have had good results with hp racing and with absolute style and sound ----Pasadena/Glenburnie. I don't know who tints pd/fd vehicles (worked for 2 diff local jurisdictions as mechanic) but if assume vendor who we go thru for up fitting etc.
  5. very good write up and very detailed. going to look into doing this for mine. side question has it been attempted to utilize an amplifier like that of a kenne bell boost a pump, where you can dial in gain to increase voltage? jw. know little comparitively from ford vs subaru regarding boost a pump usage on fords and the dccd fuel pro controller mentioned above by someone else. havent pulled my seaT to see for myself, but is that a transfer pump on the ds part of the tank or just sensor etc?
  6. What kind of downtime from your coilovers you gonna have? I know we talked before about trading, but if not talking a long time, I could probably part with mine (the rear LGT oem full assembly) for a bit until you're back on your suspension. (Keep meaning to swap to oem parts for awhile, but haven't had the time to do such)
  7. Definitely like the heat shield and reflective tape addition to it.
  8. Looks like free kit but pay $25 when u send it in per the site
  9. Jj what u post? Can't zoom in far enough in tapatalk on the iPhone to see images clearly.
  10. Considering m1 in 5-40 or 10-40 form but cost on the 5-40 would hurt the bank with the commute gas and two kids. But oci too often on that expensive cost hurts the bank too. Don't have the time to do more frequent oci and work dislikes me workin on the car there (govt mechanic). (Miss working at dealership and private industry in that matter).
  11. Definitely a good read with mixed info and findings and preferences. Might have me reconsidering my use of M1 5-30 (both in high mileage and syn forms) with either m1 or subie blue filter. But oci is 4-6k, with daily drive putting me at 2k-2.5k miles a month I'd say. Highway majority but stop and go at low rpm and speed for 5-10miles bc of DC traffic. Guess I might look into a OA done by black stone. Have 129k on the car currently and bought the car in 12/09 with 40k. Oem turbo and engine, haven't had the funds nor time to do the timing belt etc (plan on all in one swoop) but do check the timing belt and for leaks fairly often. Mild oil residue on the intake side of engine and removed one of the two banjo filters.
  12. So I could essentially sell dw 2 sets of oem good inj and buy one set from them in your experience
  13. Even if borla matched up against the spt cbe?
  14. Congrats. I was emotional as well. You're right it's amazing how instinctively if all seems natural to take good proper loving care of your child
  15. She was or is. But I think now she's afraid of missing something and might of gotten used tothe getting up at 300/400 with me so I can feed and change and all to her so she sleep for grandma for 2hours until grandma is going to work to drop the kids off at daycare for the gf and I.
  16. Weekends ours usually sleep til 600/700 am if in bed around 800/900pm
  17. Our 4yo daughter is in bed about 800pm but our 6mo daughter varies between 7-10pm. But They take naps during the day and I wake them up at 330/400 am during work days to drop them off with grandma. Lately our 6mo isn't sleeping they the night which she did since birth, and the 4yo is hit and miss on successful naps. I'll wake up as much as possible thru the week to take them on if they wake up, so gf can sleep (she is a sleeper, I'm not) until my body can't do it any more.
  18. How a bout a picture to show us the problem bolt and how muh is left on it to grab
  19. Drill it and use a left handed bit. Or if enough there weld a bolt or nut to it and then turn it out
  20. Hey barmanbean mine has the same oil seepage. You know of the Diag and problem we've been talking about....root cause?
  21. yes its a CNT catless for 5mt. currently on car but pending outcome of drivability issue i have i may pull it and sell it.
  22. possibility ima pull the cnt catless pipe off and reinstall oem. drivability issue/unsure if needs tune or have a sensor going etc. not to mention needs to be reliable...daily driver and little one on the way. keep you posted. by end of month id decide for sure. debating swap this weekend or try to get protuned monday.
