does the evo x pump fit into our tanks? i wanna get a fuel pump and studs when i up to 10-12 psi. Also do u think my auto trans will start to break at that high of boost??
**Off topic a bit but if the trans starts to go, i want to do a 5-spd swap, will the 5-spd trans out of the oz rally fit my oz rally that has auto trans?? if it does, all i need is the cables and center console, clutch pedal and an evo 8 ECU? or is it wayyyyy more complicated than that? people used to do 5-spd swaps in the 8th gen galants all the time so i think it can be done

my car idles at about 3in-Hg cruising im around 12in-Hg. and decel at 22in-Hg.
ive searchd n searchd for my vac leak, and cant find it (im 99% sure i know where it is, just havent fixxed it) its obviousely big, but i cant hear it, even in boost i cant hear it.
its my #1 prioity to fix once we start seeing 45+ degree weather again..

How much timing is enough timing? Im currently at 10* advanced in boost with absolutly no knocking issues at all on 93 octane fuel and 11.2-11.5 AFR in boost WOT. I think i can still advance the timing, but im nervous because i dont want to break a rod or something, if i keep increasing my timing, does my chance of snaping a rod at 6-8 PSI drastically rise? I know i can rise it more, one time i was at 12 timing advanced no problem but i got nervous so i brought it back down to 10* Any input on this?

You want to increase timing until you stop seeing HP gains. Without a dyno, this is likely impossible. Also, it's not just increase in timing that breaks rods, it's too much torque/cylinder pressure. Knock hurts the engine, and typically it occurs before the MBT is reached, which would probably mean you could increase more....but I wouldn't. I would do some pulls, and graph HP (which is hard since you're an auto), but I know this. If you just use some random arbitrary numbers, and compare them from one pull to the next, it won't tell you anything meaningful to compare with other people's cars....but it will give you something to benchmark yourself against.

So, recently i started smelling coolant under the hood! Looked closer and noticed the turbo was hitting the water pipe inlet :-O I think its cracked, its all wet around that area! if anyone has the WATER INLET PIPE please let me knwo ASAP its only going to get bigger, my cost on it from mitsu was 84.00, i know some one has to have this!
When i get a new one, should i bang in the pipe a little in the area the turbo is so it wont touch it next time? The turbo is fully grinded down so i dont think i can grind the turbo to notch it anymore. Here is a pic of the pipe that cracked.
