Nah, I'm going to be doing the turbo install down in Christiansburg as I'd have access to a lift, tools, and a slew of master welders (or at least certified or self taught welders that have a tig).

As for plugs, if you did any tuning on those plugs when you got the RTek, they'll probably need cleaning/replaced... i remember tuning a T2 a while back and after hours of work, it never wanted to start... put new plugs in, and it fired right up. Its usually simple.

I haven't really done much tuning on the car so far. I've dropped the fuel correction down to I *think* -16% or so during the idle range. I've also blocked off the EGR, so I imagine that's the biggest thing going against me right now with the cold air.

I would def do the compression check too though. Even if its been rebuilt, who knows the quality of the rebuild....

Point taken. I really don't know much about the rebuild. I just have a receipt for it and I know that they didn't have any 6PI sleeves in it so I had to put those in. Who knows how they rebuilt it.
