Message	and it was absolute leak free, Ive just had the coolant replaced with a water wetter and normal coolant mix, however I havent done the thermostat idea yet. I am still on stock turbos for the moment, but I am looking at going to the HKS GT-RS which will pull over 700ps I know that much, should the ARC handle that kind of power level? cost is not an issue, as youll see by my profile Im a crazy bugger when it comes to spending :P The turbo upgrade should be very soon, Im going for Jun pistons (any good? ) and crower titanium conrods, as well as a billet lightened 1 piece crank, the idea is to make the engine absolute bullet proof, all mods being done are of power nature, rice can come after it all :P
