    converting from atmospheric bov to stock

    What exactly am I going to need to buy to convert it to stock? I have the stock bov and I have one piece of the intercooler piping. Does the piping come in two pieces? Anything else I need to replace? Thanks in advance, Alex

    Clutch going out?

    I'm sure the clutch was replaced by one of the previous owners. I don't have a single receipt on the car before I owned it. Does toyota world = www.worldtoyota.com?

    Clutch going out?

    No leaks that I know of. Stock clutch with 165,000 miles. Everything on the car is stock. But i'm like... the 10th owner of the car, I'm not surprised it wore out this fast.

    Clutch going out?

    Hey all, Lately I've been having some issues. Don't know a whole lot, so looking for your diagnosis. When I'm accelerating, more often in 3rd 4th and 5th, the RPM's will jump up a lot faster than they should, without the car accelerating as fast as it should. It's always when im boosting. And...

    Only one speed heater.. still

    Hey guys, I replaced my heater resistor. I've replaced the climate control unit. Still only one speed. However, when I looked at the old resistor, the small and medium coils were broken but the high wasn't. Does that mean the only one I have working is high? Just seems like i don't have a lot of...

    Windows 7.

    There's not a whole lot of differences besides cosmetic. I feel like they just took all of the cool features of osx and ubuntu and added them to windows. Ubuntu still kicks ass.

    Probably a really stupid question..blower motor resistor

    I bought a new blower motor resistor and I have no idea where it is to replace it. Everyone makes it sound real easy, just one screw and you're done. I'm looking behind the panel thats under the glovebox, above where the passengers feet would be. Not seeing it. Help?

    question before I start a small project

    Anyone know of a thread explaining how to remove the turbo? I've taken off the bov and piping and unplugged all the hoses and wiring harnesses so it should be free. Now I need to unbolt the whole thing from the exhaust? or is there somewhere in the middle I can disassemble it instead.

    question before I start a small project

    I'm leaking oil pretty bad. Figured out its coming from a metal pipe leading to the turbo (or from the turbo). I hosed it off and didn't see any leaks so I just got a new gasket. Should be a pretty easy job but I haven't had a ton of experience doing work myself, any tips or advice for a noob?
