I think you just have to check tension at 20k,not sure.
Very quiet, very peppy, nice ride
keep the carbon blown out they have a bad problem with coking in the
throttlebody. When it wont start and sounds like it has a broken timing belt
(no compresion)just pull off the throttlebody and clean it out with spoke
brush and wheel cleaner.Never seen anything like it completly stopped up.
they have problems with those oil lines to the turbo also .Recommend that
minute of cool down time before you shut it down EVERYTIME.
