like dump truck turbos on hondas, externally gated, pieced together with the mentality of "bigger is better"

I just looked into converting to an oldschool carmy CC today. It wouldnt plug right up but the number of pins match up. Its definately do-able and I really like how it looks. Its very similar to the JDM climate control, and would fit in the same slot. I may just have to pick that bad boy up from...

Thats a very good point too IJ! Wastegates 101.

its necessary to go with a bigger wastegate when you have boost creep. The wastegate cannot evacuate enough air from the exhaust turbine. when this happens, it causes a "back up" or a jam, where the wastegate cannot flow enough exhaust gases. This means the gases have only one place to go...

by longblock terms, does the head have to be bolted to the block, or does it matter?

deflicted.. i mean.. it just varys gauge to gauge how off it is, because some gauge are more messed up than others. I'm not sure how accurate a prestine gauge would be, but I'm sure they're somewhat accurate. Edit: ^Exactly, beat me to it ^

it depends on how deflicted the gauge is... if at all.

I'm with figgie.. the reason it probably leaked in the first place was because of the cork gasket.

damnit, that makes sense. thanks for you help

mine did the same thing for a while until it killed the gauge

Hey guys, my cars got this weird smoking habit after I installed my alcohol injection.. or at least.. thats when I noticed it. My turbo is brand new, my heaggasket it good, no other symptoms. the car only smokes after I've been decelerating in gear, and then when I hit the gas I get a nice...

well there must be some difference.. I used the original banjo bolt and plugged it with RTV sealant, this probably caused a restriction being screwed in further, preventing flow. I could not drive 2 miles on the highway without seeing the needle move. I'm sure it depends on how you do it, but I...

I have nightmares about my car knocking or BHG's... seriously. Its bad.

I'm sorry but that roush looks retarded.

just run a hose from the top to the bottom. You'll be fine temporarily blocking them, but when you're on the highway it WILL overheat. By blocking the lines you're blocking a large ammount of flow through the system.

I love it.

I'm with DBSupra90 on this, hes given me great tuning tips in the past which have helped me tuninig my car. This is a good tip he gave me a few months ago.. remember the SAFC isnt linear, +5% at 2k rpms isnt necessarily the same as +5% 5k rpms. and my contribution is, if you're having...

i had to change mine since the JDM one didnt work.

ohh lol. I assumed considering it was, since its LHD. Good call Kurt!
