if you are running around stock fueling an boost pressures (basically factory specs) it hardly seems like theres a need for them..

and the n/a builds ive seen where people throw in squirts, thats less than necessary also..

oil squirters would have saved my engine that one night, maybe.. but i was being a retard.

if you have a good EGT gauge, and you have enough sense to pay attention to it and never get it too hot, you will NEVER need squirts.. its when you have to get the combustion really hot, and keep it there. thats when your pistons start yelling at you to let off, then shortly after, your engine locks up.

basis of post: if your engine doesnt make enough heat to need squirts, its kinda a waste of time IMHO..

again.. just my opinion.

86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

as simple as machining the boss flat, drilling a hole, and threading it.  ;D
