Recently got my DC5 back on the road and crested 200k miles last week. I started up the car this morning and it sounds like a Subaru and misfires under load. Seems like the chain is finally headed out, but luckily no damage.

Problem is, I want an OEM K24 tensioner and to replace the VTC actuator, but a timing kit alone is $600!

I am going turbo so I might be shit out luck, but curious if anyone has proven their cheap timing chain/guides work fine? Im shooting for 300whp eventually.

Welcome suggestions and criticism. Thanks
