So I had a multi-week ordeal with doing a few repairs. Timing belt, Valve Cover Gasket and Turbo to manifold gasket. My turbo to manifold gasket was destroyed, and in 1st and second gear by 6k I was only holding 6psi. I also never switched to a range colder plugs, even though I shoulda been. So I finished the car last week, but tonite was the first time I really opened her up. boost only drops to 13psi in first, and 15psi in 2nd. Car freaking MOVES compared to how it felt when I ran the 14 flat. 13s here I come!!! ---

Oh shit, lol. Ray Laks actually has a bolt and washers I ordered. They came in like a week ago as of this past Friday. :lol: I just put the stud back in. So to answer the question, I don’t have any extras. ---
