Down for the winter...
Being in school now, and afraid to drive the T2 there, I parked my car for the winter.
If you want to see how sad I am, check out all that I did:
- while running, I drained the boost fluid, and got rid of any possible built up carbon.
- washed and waxed car
- changed coolant, syn. oil, trans fluid (syn), diff fluid (syn), vacuum bled the brakes, etc etc.
- removed the engine and transmission together, checked compression, turbo condition, fogged motor, and stored it (reattached radiator so to be able to keep it filled with rad fluid.)
- set car on jackstands, removed tires, removed brakes pads, put vaseline on brake rotors.
- vacuumed and cleaned interior, added box of baking soda and a bunch of moisture sucking things.
-washed underside of car, applied vaseline where I thought necessary
-washed out engine bay
-removed all rocks from radiator and oil cooler, flushed oil cooler
-drained gasoline, ran methyl hydrate through fuel system, drained methyl hydrate, and resealed fuel system
-lubed all locks, hinger, sunroof
-removed battery, and set on automatic trickle charger.
I'm sure I've forgotten to post all stuff I did, but you get the jist... lotta work just to put the car away.

"well yesterday I tryed my 280 shot for the first time even though I post about it all the time, and it blew up. so today I pulled the engine and stuck it away for winter"

Actually, I DECREASED the jetting from 280. The addition of extra nitrous with the stock turbo was cactuualy decreasing power, and I actually made more power with a small shot. I think a 120 total is about good with that damn stock turbo on there.
