My '99 9-3 SE:
B204L w/ T25 and shitty Intercooler.
185 hp stock.
Before I go any Farther, I owe a huge thanks to Rob (SPG-GASM) and the wonderful people, Marty & Annette, for allowing me to use their shop.
So it began when I needed to replace the timing chain.. it was making far too much noise for our comfort. Rob and I got to talking and a couple weeks later, this is where we are: engine is out of the car and we are working on the rebuild.
