Which RTV?
Loctite mate. Get it from hslfords off the shelf available as a black type. There's also a copper version for high temp. Probably get it cheaper but it's there on the shelf almost always in stock. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=255217&productId=173059&storeId=10001 I've used other ones and this stuff is one that actually works properly.

Advice needed
Respect is respect Regaurdless. If your belief is not to sit on the toilet then hover, it ain't hard. Standing on and making a complete mess is just vandalism regardless. I think the key option is best. That way it's easy to catch the culprit who ever they are and punish them according for the vandalism they have comidetted. Simple. The rest is immaterial.

Advice needed
I think you need to be careful here. To say it's X group of people is going to do exactly that, raise the race card, because that's actually exactly what your doing. You can't take that whole group. If you have suspicion of certain people then it may be worth mentioning them by name rather than there eye colour (if you get what saying) Regaurdless of their nationality you need to be pretty sure or have evidence of someone's misdoings. Accusing people without proof will cause just as much grief as accusation via race.... Thread carefully and think about what you know rather than what you suspect.

Compression help
The thing that strikes me there, your numbers drop in order. The battery was fully charged yeah? It's odd that the whole bank is low. As you say head gasket is possible, however I'd expect to see it leaking from one cylinder to another not between all three. Do you know any of this cars history? Has it had a cam belt change for example, potentially one of the cams is out of line causing this issue. It is also possible the heads warped etc. further diagnostics are required. My first move would be to put the engine at number 1 TDC and count the teeth on the belt with the covers off. Even if it's just the teeth at the top, save you removing the belts and water pipes. Btw the cylinder order goes; 5-6 3-4 1-2 As you look at it. So the right bank is actually cylinders 2,4,6. Just to save confusion when your doing research.

new new surveillance laws, good or bad ?
So they already have the power to seize your phone your computer etc with the right court order based on reasonable suspicison. The laws regarding this are just as tight, a court order is required with reasonable suspicison. Why do they need it? They already have the power to get the result they require. This is a new tool, the question is why. The only reason I can think is so they can monitor people without suspicison being raised, ie they have to have less invested to act. It's less risky for them if they are wrong. I'm not apposed to it per say actually. What I'm apposed to is jumping in with these ideas without proper legislation to begin with. When things are rushed it leaves them open to abuse through loop holes or to be extended without proper consent getting out of hand. If it's we have reason to suspect, good reason not just we think, this guys a paedo/terrorist and want to search their internet history to prove it then crack on. Catch the ****er! If however it's we've brought you in cod you look funny and we want to check your internet history, because well you look funny. Then **** off. Proper evidence warrants evidence not little hunches I'm afraid. What hacks me off is this archaic law they are using based around anti dueling laws to convict people of murder because they didn't stop it happening in effect. I've forgotten what's it's called, it's going through the reviews at present because it's convicting too many otherwise innocent people.

New kid on the block!
Stock turbos are capable of pushing over 20psi, but they loose a lot of their ability after about 19psi, after that your just pumping really hot air. Most choose to up to 14 to 16psi which gives a good return and retains some safety and life on the turbos themselves. Obviously you have to match the increase with fuel. Anything more than stock should really be accompanied by a good chip or ideally a remap. Obviously the stock injectors have their limitations as do the other supporting equipment. As a basic set, a good quality cone filter, cat back, decats and the chip and boost increase to 14psi, should see around 340-350fwhp.

All they are really proposing is to have the same abilities with your internet as your phone. It needs properly looking at and proper laws put in place and for it to be used with intelligent descresion. We certainly don't want to see if transcending into a knock on the door every time a teenager types in "how to make a bomb" into Google.

5.6 if you can get a perfect launch. 179 if you take off the limiter :)

Old subject and apologies
You will need 5 bolt down pipes for the 535 and 600. The 525 use the same as stock, 4 bolt. The 525 are essentially a hybrid between stock and a T28, to get 500 out of them will require quite a few bolt ins but the lag will be nothing. Very responsive but not necessarily the cheapest or best way forward. The 600s are cheaper than the 535 and will make more peak power, with minimal lag increase. If you brought the 600s you would likely make 5-550 cheaper and easier and give yourself room for future upgrades to increase responsiveness. I'd buy the 600s.

Rustproofing and waxoiling underneath,
Don't forget guys when your applying these products you must do so to clean dry metal. Painting over existing surface rust will only allow it to sit there and fester. Equally if you go doing it on a wet cold day like the current weather you will seal that wet air in.
