    Did you buy it from a guy on NLOC that made 800/800 with the same kit? I the MAF in the front bumper?

    Check all the grounds, sounds like you left one off.

    Its just the way dynojet graphs hen you have different Y scales for HP and torque. The values are correct. If the Y scales are different it will effect where they cross. I'd prove it but the graph does a pretty good job of that. Thats a fun car I bet .

    I would suggest not even having a cover letter unless it is very specific and very well written. A good resume can go very far.

    It's going to break anyway, so I would suggest leaving it.

    Call European Auto Works, they are near campus in UA and have a HUGE stockpile of volvo parts, I'm 99% sure they have a 850 turbo manifold and turbo in their stockpile (used), or at least they did a few month ago.

    If you never go outside you'll never get hit by a car either. Hell, don't get a job and you'll never get fired! That sucks, document everything. I had a friend go through somthing similar and came out OK because of the amount of information he had.

    I have a shortblock at the shop. $250. Its from a 89, would need cleaned up but it ran when removed.

    What is it? It would need cleaned, welded and flattened on a mill or surfacer. can the thickness change? I would say at a minimum .010 would need to come off both sides, provided it doesnt move around to much while welding. Depending on how much a new one is that might be a cheaper route...

    pry, pry, pry. I'm sure the tubes have moved around alot over the years. That thing used to back bolts out constantly. You can buy flanges online for $50 or so...

    I like using copper gaskets because they are reuseable. No gaskets at all and copper RTV is the normal ticket to fixing problem headers if the flange is nice and flat. Turbo cars = no gaskets. With yours Id just use copper gaskets or just copper RTV, with just RTV the bolts won't back out either.

    You know all about the early 4.6l motors in the vics, 200k+ kicking followers out. The fix was to pop em back in with a pry bar.

    I've never heard of a stock hood flying up unless someone messed with it or had it popped. The only ones I have seen fly up are shitty aftermarket hoods like cinci composites.

    You dont need a special tool to get the followers out of a mod motor, just put it on the base circle of the cam and pop it out and then back in with a large screwdriver. Thats how it was done before the special tools, the tool makes it easier, but its not needed at all. You dont need to compress the valve spring.

    Come on, the Component test meter walks you through testing components AND shows you the backside of the connector, the wire colors, what a good waveform looks like, and auto configures the scope, who couldn't use it? The scan tool is only about 40% of the tool. For what it does I don't know how we sell them so cheap.

    So if you haven't been drinking and driving, and are accused of it, and they do a blood test, that's OK? No thank you. This should not be a world of guilty until proven innocent.

    The CT4410 snapon electric impact is a bad mofo, 230ft/lbs breaking torque, it takes lug nuts off with ease. http://diagnostics.snapon.com for MODIS info.
