[s-cars] RE: Labor Estimates for RS2 Conversion -Part II

[TM]

Funny, my car is running about 19 inches of vacuum at idle, about 25-26
inches
on overrun, dips nearly to 30 if I shut the throttle violently at 5k
rpm, which
I really shouldn't be doing anyway.

I guess we'll have to go together to a dyno day- my car seemed to run
far better
after getting my cluster fixed, so much so that I was going a bit too
fast on the
way home. :-)

Bill:

I was just giving "book" hours for OEM R&I.
How much of the 12 hrs was spent looking for that little metal clip that
disappeared?   On beer breaks?  On working the wrong end of the turbo
oil
line?

None of it matters anyway -- you did it and the car runs like an
Andersen accountant runs from "Bubba", his new cellmate.

BTW, back to 17 inches of vacuum today....Taka's Japanese magic only
lasted 1 day.  I need to bring him with me to a dyno day.

FWIW, I must be half fast as it took me more than 12hrs :)
And if I had had to make all three custom wrenches another couple hours.

As a now experienced EM installer, I am sure I could do it mucho faster.
First time I tried to be real methodical. Cutting the bolts was a breeze
w/Dremel cut  off wheel..  Measure 3 times cut once. A real fun memory:)
