Also I started tearing out and replacing my clutch and CSC. Went to Lowe's and spent about $100 on blocks, lol. Its redneck but this way I can do it myself and take my time. The jack actually ended up working better than I would have thought.

We have about 4 hours on it so far, and most of that was blocking the car up. I had to call it a day thought because I to not have a torx large enough for the flywheel bolts. Does anyone happen to know the size? I will do some searching here and will probably find it if its on this site.

For anyone wanting to do the same thing there is no need to jack the car as high as we did, turns out if you just pull the trans back in the tunnel there is no need to remove it from under the car. There is plenty of room to then sit in between the trans and engine and get at the clutch (and CSC).

Wow! Nice work Mitch

Nice and shiny! Got the trans in and everything bolted back up. Got to say the hardest part about this whole install was installing that turbo and getting the clamps on on the inter cooler piping. There were quite a few choice words but she went after awhile.

I spent about an hr trying to bleed the new CSC with no luck :/. Had to call it quits for the night as I couldn't lift my arms anymore to loosen and tighten the bleed screw. Anyone got any suggestions? Thinking of purchasing a vacuum tool to hook onto it and help suck the air out of the system. Has anyone done this?

Did you try bleeding the clutch master cylinder? Mine had air in it, bled it and so far so good.

Just loosen the fitting at the front of it, have someone slowly pump the clutch then tighten it back up when you don't get any more bubbles.

Doesn't the air just run up into the reservoir? Or are you talking about the fitting on the high pressure side of the master cylinder? I think there is probably air in the master cylinder because it is moving next to no fluid (or air) from pumping.

I need to look at my CMC again to be sure. I just know that my clutch went to the floor 2 blocks from the shop after getting the clutch installed. I got it home and bled the CMC because Joe at Z-Speed said it needs to be bled and I knew the shop that did my clutch install didn't bleed it, now it works like a charm.

It must be on the high pressure side.

I looked through the manual and didnt see anything like that. Ill take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can see what you are talking about. In the manual it specifically says not to use a vacuum assist or pressure assist. So it looks like that is out.

I believe there is only one line going to the CMC, at least I only remember one line (I did this last October). I cracked it loose, had my wife pump the clutch slowly and I tightened it up after the bubbles stopped. That's the extent of my knowledge. lol

Give Joe at Z-Speed a call. He'll know what to do.

She started to lean out on top so we had to leave it there, Once I get that issue solved there is no reason the car wont be at 540-550 RWHP. There was no knocking on this run except for the very end when it leaned out.
