Hi,
I just got back yesterday from my 1st real road trip w/ the rebuilt
turbo, about 800 miles from near LA to Yosemite. I still can't believe
just how much better it runs up the hills, and for passing. Going up the
Grapevine, right north of LA, it didn't bog down at all, like it had in
the past. It also ran right up Old Priest grade near Yosemite which is
pretty steep. In the past, it was only good at a particular RPM (power
band), and if it dropped below, it was hard to get back into the (power
band). Now there's plenty of power at a broader range of RPMs.
With mostly higher speed driving (80+) and some AC on the return the car
got 24mpg.
(the best with this car has been 25 mpg)
It runs so smooth after a road trip. :)
Has anyone changed the filter canister gasket to the block before?
I seem have a leak there and want to know how much of a PITA it is.
Thanks
