    Safe to "bake" turbo?

    So I just painted the exhaust side of the turbo w/ high temp ceramic paint. It needs to be cured at 300 degrees for two hours. Will it hurt the turbo to put it in the oven at said temp and time? I know the turbo gets hotter than this when it is on the car but I don't wan't to damage it.

As I type this the front end of the car is lifted as high as the jack will go with the heater on full blast. The car has been running for about an hour but not a whole lot of air has come out...

    What keeps you from calling it quits?

    Lately I have been wondering why I keep coming back to my Supra. Even after all the headaches and money that goes into it I keep coming back for more. I think the main reason is this forum, without the support and info I probably would have thrown the towel in a LONG time ago. Plus seeing some...

    What needs to move?

    Ok, after a rough year of mental masturbation I have decided to go 1/2 NA-t. Within the next year or so I will be turbo, what needs to be relocated to make way for the turbo and all the goodies that come with it? I ask now so I can start figuring out how to move stuff and where to move it to...

    Car stalls sometimes.

    Ok, when I'm driving around the city and a red light pops up I usually just push in the clutch and coast to a stop. Three or four times today right before I come to a stop the car stalls. All the warning lights come on, the radio doesn't cut out so I don't think I am losing electric power. The...

    Rear speaker recomendations.

    I just installed Infiniy 4012i's up front and need something in the back to compliment them. I was told that Alpine SPS-13C2's are good for the music I listen to.(Death and thrash metal mainly.) I am looking for 5-1/4" speakers. Something with decent bass without loosing or distorting the mids...
