I agree on the welded diff as i didnt enjoy the ride on the few ive driven with welded diffs.

The s13 diff does not drop straight in although using parts from s13 and s12 diffs you can make a vlsd as members such as 30 psi has done in the past. He is the man to ask about this as ive not yet made one up

cheers mate ill try the search engine on hear and over on the sx owners club and see what i come up with.

ive driven that car a mate of mine went to look at it, but it was up for £500 then so he dident get it, the boost pipes were all a bit shoddy, and it looked like the exhaust manifold studs were a bit bodged, but can't really remember now? when i drove it i dident think it went as well as my s12 with the t2 still onit, but for £150 you can't really complain

hi mate the boost pipes are shoddy but the manifold studs are new.
it is smoking alot now i am going to put my t25 on it and see if that sorts it but this breather is missing would this cause it to smoke
the car does need work but the body is a lot better than my s13 which needs a lot of wielding and new brake lines to get i road worthy so i was thinking of striping it and using all the parts that i can for the s12
pic not working it is the one coming off the rocker cover

[PukkaSilvia]

If its been removed the rocker cover hole can just breath to atmosphere and the other end on the rubber pipe needs to be blanked off

I should imagine its lower performance is either than not being blanked or If it is then blanked then it is the turbo. It should fly with your t25 on it. Your lucky to have all the s13 bits to hand

[adzs12]

Yep as pukka says that hole in the air filter pipe needs to be blanked off, pretty sure this messes with the afm dont it ?
