I already bought an extra tapped y8 pan.... Too many parts I gotta resell and replace... argh!
btw, If it's still touchy, just ignore this.
But I wanna start tuning soon, b4 I put the turbo in so I can get my idle and off-boost smooth.
Is there any chance you can send me some background on what you found on the y8 timing. I wanna get my base as close as possible.
PM or email me, to avoid another war.

heh no war, I'm interested. I need to find out where my oil is leaking from before I turbo also, the car doesn't leak at a stop or burn oil, but every time i change oil there's usually only a quart or two left. I guess I'll replace the oil pump too.

Yes, it does. It's a question of resonant frequency/harmonics. Frequency stays the same, but amplitude goes up with power.
