This is horrendous. I am sorry but all of that you posted is wrong.

Venting to Atmosphere: The MAS on 1gs and 2gs is before the BOV, which means air is counted before the BOV. If air that has been counted that all of a sudden leaves the system (vented), it causes super rich conditions which cause the car to run poorly. venting can be done using a VPC or GM MAF which counts air after the BOV, not before. It uses a straight intake pipe with no petering on it, and puts the metering device after the BOV just before the Throttle Body.

Also, taking off just the balance shaft belt without removing the shafts themselves is terrible advice. The Shafts themselves must be removed once the belt is removed.


Also crankwalk tests are done without dropping the oil pan. You measure lateral play in the crank as the clutch is depressed at the end of the crank. That is how you test for CW.

Oh and as for welding differentials, you can run it on the street but it is not at all designed for that. Turning with welded diffs is not what they were designed for. The wheels MUST spin at the same rate when the diffs are welded.

Even if all this info was correct, it is so far out of order as far as modding a 4g that it's silly. It's like steps 65, 87, and 94 put as 1,2,3.
