Dude, I bought the PCV valve and it is no where to be found, I have looked in the FSM and Chiltons and they have some blow up view of the engine block and the little PCV valve to the side.

Do you know where it is?

Thanks!

Also, VG guys...Where is your top end?

timing chain is so much better. Really is a better design there. I hate changing timing belts on these VGs. I've only done it twice, but both times I walked away with flesh hanging from my knuckles and at least one broken socket wrench.

yes they last longer..until you have to pull the motor cover because the guide rails are worn down...u think the T-belt is a big job..the T-chain is worst.

and T-chain are noiser.

I have never had to deal with them

They are kind of like the timing chain, they do get old after time, but dont really need to be changed.

If you decide to fabricate the pipes let me know....I'm ready!!!!!

I think the VG may be able to have shorter coolant lines. It also seems to me like maybe the VG might be able to take more boost. It would have a better power-to-weight ratio, wouldn't it? The VE has that top end, though...

I have to admit I never thought anyone would actually turbo a VE. If this isn't the first, it's certainly the first I've heard of. So very, very impressive...

Same here, I always heard can't be done, toooo much $$$$ or why don't u try to fit a kit from a VQ. I glad to see it's done!!!!!!!!!!
