Kruz, Since you're the mech out there, I have a question. I have a line on a new cylinder head for my Audi...DOHC vs SOHC. Since this head will lower my compression from about 10:1 to about 8.5:1, will getting a turbo cause me heartache if I run at around 10psi? :eek3:

Keeps the turbo from blowing your pistons down through the bottom of your engine by relieving pressure when the engine has too much compression.

Whoops...sorry. I was looking right, and you meant left. That is part of the turbo 'pop-off' assembly. Here's a picture of it without all the rest of the innards in the way...

Wimps...I could, from time to time, get terminated with extreme prejudice while I'm in the process of working...plus I can work for up to 16 hours, or more, straight with no sleep and only 2 meals. :grinyes: I'm working 12-hour shifts right now...

That, Inky, is the spark-plug wire cover... Prof? Bite me. ;)

My favorite engine? That's a tough call. I've driven every major make in the US, a Toyota, an Audi, hmmm...How about this one... Not much to look at, but with a few mods can put out up to 510 HP...

They average 6 inches in length. Their bite, while not poisonous, does carry an extremely potent bacteria.

My home system is protected by 2 things...Norton anti-virus, and no net connection. ;) I let the DoD protect the one at work. So far, nothing bad has happened... :shrug:

Maybe his OS is a turkey... :lol:

I thought he changed wigs when he switched to T.J. Hooker... :confused:
