    hi guys,
    im taking my car into the mechanics to get my injectors cleaned. I have been told that i will gain kw from that and it will also make my engine smoohther and mre fuel efficent.
    While i am there i might as well go looking for some kw that have been lost over time. Can anyone give me a list of things that can be cleaned/ replaced that will improve performance or fuel econ.

    Get your mechanic to drain the engine, and refill with snake-oil. 10W-50 should do it.
    Those elusive horses will be galloping all over each other in anticipation to get back into your engine

    did u shut the gate so they couldnt escape?

    lol jks

    id just tive the whole car a service, plugs, clean throttle body, clean air filter, replace fuel filter, change oil and oil filter and even the coolant. prob wont gain power but deff will make the engine run alot smoother and nicer.

    if you are noticing a big drop in power, inspect the turbos or the engine might be getting tired and get blow by etc?

    like already said, where do u start....

    Maybe he just needs a bigger gates - i heard the horses can jump over the stock gates because they are so small - hence the name waste gate?
