I'd be more worried about the sand when it was blasted... but if you mask it all off good you're fine... hence why I said I make damn sure nothing gets down there in the first place.

blasting media gets into the baffles and over time will come off into your oil. Bye bye bearings.Quote:

I feel your pain. Have a few leaks to fix and no room to fix them :(Quote:

Installed ID1000 injectors today. Pretty easy had to remove factory clips and replace with the supplied ID clips. Also removed the injector resistor box as these are high impedance injectors. Flashed Chrome with the new settings and started up straight away. Went to do some logging and i only get rear fuel trim rear (mid) -11.328125 and (Low) -0.390625 and 0 on the front fuel trims ? Anyway going to wait till my FMIC arrives go get a downpipe made up then im off to get it dyno tuned.
Well, ended up having to pull the front turbo, there was just no way to get enough clearance around the front motor mount bracket to get access. Pity.Quote:
