Acadia Celebrates 1 Year With MQB #3, Wonders If It's Time To Upgrade...

[Salami]

So you're saying I should start a build thread.

Shit, mine will ship, be delivered and installed before you open the box.

I wish they had a deal on those pipes

So what you're saying is, if someone were to buy the IC kit, but had no interest in the charge pipes, you'd be interested in buying them...

Hmm....

Correct. But only for a good deal. Like 200 shipped. And I'd want the silver ones.

Let's work it out. What's your offer?

PayPal me $200. I'll order the kit, and ship the polished charge pipe kit part of it up to you (and toss the Dragy in the box) when it arrives.

 

[Acadia18]

Oh. And I'll even toss in 3x POGS of your choice (seen here). Hopefully you don't choose the one with the guillotine, as that's one of my favorites. Or the Skittering Blort. But if it wanted them, you could have them.

Let's do this.

Bout to pull the trigger on that Mishi IC and join the list of people with it collecting dust in their garage until I feel like spending a whole weekend getting angry at my underdeveloped mechanical skills.

It's really not that hard to do. People heavily overstate the difficulty. Get a second set of hands to help, and it's a breeze. Even the first time doing it, we were on track for like a 3hr install time. And that was fumbling our way through it.

Yeah they’re not bad I did mine by myself in about 4 hours with just some jack stands and nothing fancy plus was parked on side of the street.

Ordered a non-OEM Vaico BL version PCV from FCP.

Will be here tomorrow. While more than likely not going to help, figured it'd be worth a try for $40. Wouldn't keep the aftermarket part on long term, but should at least help identify if my oil issue is PCV related.

Sorry, there are a million pages, but what's the oil issue?

If it's oil on the plugs it's more than likely the cam bridge as Diggs said. Talking with my mechanic, so long as there isn't a lot of standing oil on the plugs it can be addressed later. Though if your getting small puddles on the tops of your plugs it might be a good idea to plan for it sooner rather than later.

He said it's about 1200 dollar job. I assume that's more labor than parts.
