Re: My First 480, a Two Tone 1.7 Turbo

so this week went really great, I have now gotten all the parts, just waiting for the poly bushings.
First thing I did was to replace the rear shocks and springs, but I need to get the shorter bump stops for them, also the lower rear spring holder, some of the plastic holding bits broke, if anyone has any recommendations I would be grateful
Also the rear sway bar lings are shot, so they went
And searching the forum I found some posts about the MAF adjustment, mine ends with serial 029, so the outermost plugs were the only ones changing, 2 and 6 weren't, so I adjusted it accordingly
The water hose above the water pump was really bad, so I got a new one
Along with a new turbo return line, and some new sealant on the block/oil drain part, so it wont leak, hopefully
Well the previous water pump bearing was el, loud to say the least, even though it was looking good, I just got a new one
Along with the complete reseal of the engine I was a bit fascinated how you could see new vs old rubber gaskets
Also the engine has now been timed correctly, but sadly i got a 124tooth belt instead of a 125 tooth one, so I need to get the correct one, and the split intake gasket is also on the list, otherwise the engine will soon be ready to go in.
