yeah... ive been thinking about what sean said. The big difference between me and what he said is the fact that i dont really care if i blow it up!... (to an extent)if it blows up, then it blows up. i already know the "things that could possibly go wrong" and it just gives me all the reason to rebuild. but in all honesty, the car drives and feels almost near perfect. other than little odds and ends that ive had to fix, (turbo setup) theres no evidence of knock(non that i can hear). i had a leakdown test recently, and the hg is still good! oh, as for my clutch, i've replaced that already and it still grabs good. ive been meaning to do a compression test but i havent had time to buy the actual tester so hopefully that will be soon!

thanks for the responses guys. im going back for another dyno run sometime next month so i can tune a/f, we'll see how TUNED i think i am..
