exhaust manifold shat out a gasket, removed manifold and all gaskets and smeared some sealant crap in the gap and bolted her back up! Sounds AWESOME now and runs a lot better too! XD

Also found my v belt tensioner adjustment bar lost a nut and came loose so that had to be fixed.

Slowly the issues are being fixed as they arrive.

Sounds WAY to Familiar!

I laid out pieces of Underlay, Sound Deadening, and Carpet in the sun to dry (See WATER for more info). Hoping to reassemble everything tonight.

Had a busy day. Built a shelve and started tearing down the motor. Next step, split the block.

Not necessarily today, but the last few weeks I've been doing a bunch of stuff to my Jetta which was painfully boringly stock before.

Lowered it with a 60/40 cup kit
17'' Ariettas with 215/45/17 potenza tires
10mm spacers behind the rear wheels
window tint all around
black vinyl on the B-pillars
painted my grill and front badge
smoked the bumper markers
de-badged the trunk
4motion lip up front
spent a few hours in the interior with a vacuum and steam cleaner to make it smell fresh.

probably going to put 5mm spacers up front, joey mod the headlights and then the whole car is going to receive a needed power polish this week. Here's a crappy pic, I'm no photographer.

Put a very Temporary boost gauge, to see what the G60 is doing.
6psi max. What's Factoy? 8psi? Not as bad as I thought...
Still gonna Rebuild....
One day.
