Not looking great for me, just far too busy to get the beast properly sorted for this. Might turn up and run at low boost.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3sgte oil pump questions

have you checked its not dripping down back of engine from camcover corner (problem on rev2 head) above alternator or cam seals if youve had cams out. this is more likely than the pump leaking.

Re: beams mr2

what i found that surprised me was the head casting. it had all the fittings for vvti on exhaust side (except needs some machining/holes drilled etc and xtra sensors)
so it appears there is a possibility to run dual vvti with the redtop head
