Or the crack in the windshield of the brand new car.

 

o0o yea the dirty foot prints outside of the car.

 

I say we thread-jack this ho (temporarily of course ) until this guy returns and post pics of our nice and shiny engine bays to help motivate this guy.

Just a thought.

 

This is gonna be sick! YOu gotta make some videos of this.

 

I don't think he's coming back.

 

he probably blew his engine due to oil pump starvation with that shitty oil return line that has a banjo bolt fitting that screws into the oil pan drain plug, i have seen a 07 si with 10,000 miles completey [freak] the engine with that cheap *** kit, but it lead to a better rebuild with arias pistons forged rods and golden eagle sleeves lol

that doesn't sound right? oil will not drain if the line fits into the drain plug. the motor shouldn't be starved of oil but the turbo wont last long with that kinda of return. the line should be above the oil level to allow proper return.

i think greddy KNOWS that....so the Si you saw probably installed the line incorrectly.

Really? No issues with my turbo and I've been boosted for 9k miles. I've only seen that happen with bad installers and poor maintenance.


Speaking of temporary thread jacks....
