[QUOTE="arrowhead, post: 3022129, member: 4588"] i beg to differ to with your mech's statement. after transplant, problems will occur depending on ur luck when choosing a halfcut. it may look "oh-so-gorgeous" and all, but might give u hell once u plonk it into ur engine bay. since ur current bushings already kong, when u transplant, its best to replace them all with new ones (not from the halfcut) because, think about it, halfcut items aren't new, their also probably aged about the same as your car (EG halfcut - 92-94). perhaps u can use some stuff from the halfcut like upper arm, rack end.. but there's no guarantee that their not faulty. oh and believe me on this matter, example, say u opted for the eg6 (b16a) halfcut which goes for 6.8k and 1k for workmanship. it doesn't end there. u'll need to fork out an additional 1k (maybe more) to replace wear/tear parts such as timing belt, alternator belt, power steering belt, power steering fluid, brake fluid, radiotor coolant, service air cond (put in new gas), change new brake pads(front and rear), skim the disc brakes (front and rear) provided u weren't so lucky as me in this case. hehe. and wow, 6.8k for auto halfcut? it was about 5.5k 3 months ago. perhaps ur mech didn't take the effort to search properly, my manual halfcut cost 6.5k only. the same goes for option #2, because its still a halfcut. option #1 may cost more than u think also, not saying ur mech's a con but they can make u change things which aren't faulty unless u are like me, stand there all the time, everyday to see what their doing. doesn't necessarily rule conning out, but i'm sure they'll think twice if they wanna do so. hope this helps. i'm merely speaking from experience. i did my conversion about 3-4 months back. my halfcut was in immaculate condition, but i had to spend additional 2-3k on repairs. good luck.

Airtrek Turbo vacuum pressure at idle
Hi, I am going through the process of making a few upgrades to my Airtrek and I was wondering what the range of vacuum pressures were at idle.
Mine has been at around 12 InHG (-6 PSI) since I fitted the boost gauge...
