    Cooleeze no longer availiable?

    I'd say that's a good guess ;) I spent about $500.00 for my pipes AND intercooler, that includes couplers and t-bolts ;)

    regular or Synthetic oil?

    This reminds me, I've got about 5K on the Penzoil Plat in my DD, I guess it's about time to put on a new Purolator filter...

    Read the home page. Looks like it may be a little bit.

    how can i tell if my ct26 is spinning backwards

    I haven't had any bad experiences with my synapse yet, and I've had both that and the real HKS SSQV before, I prefer what I have now ;).

    Finally, after 9 years, Tial has redone their BOV...

    I never ran with a pull type BOV before, so I'm unsure as to how they work, but I've always read around that they tend to leak boost at higher pressure, I'm assuming from the intake charge forcing the piston up. This may not be an issue with the tial for the very same reasons you have posted...

    interchangeable parts 88 - 89+

    The speed will be off unless you match the little gear in your tranny to a later gear from the 89'+ along with the 3.70 rear end.

    Anyone have experience with Crank Scrapers?

    "Ultra Gray" must be the stuff that I hear Ian mention every now and then...

    Full boost lose power!!!

    Good call John ;). I was thinking that he had the 550's fuel pressure set at the TSRM spec or close to it since he was having a rich running issue from what he described.

    Finally, after 9 years, Tial has redone their BOV...

    So, what makes a pull type BOV, such as the Tial, leak under high boost situations, versus a push type vavle, like the HKS SSQV or Synapse Synchronic not leaking at all due to the boost pressure pushing the valve closed under boost??

    Finally, after 9 years, Tial has redone their BOV...

    The difference would only be noticed if you had two exactly same motors/setup/driver characteristics. One BOV on one car, one on the other. The difference would be noticed by how long it takes one turbo to die due to compressor surge at high Psi levels versus the other running the same setup.

    Who rebuilds your Ct26?

    Jtamulis or Driftmotion, either way you will walk away with a lighter wallet and a quality piece that will leave a smile on your face for a long time. ;)

    how to time 7m turbo

    You need to take the timing belt off, then begin re-timing the motor to TDC for #1 piston per the TSRM specs, then you can put the belt back on. BTW, you only need to take the belt off of the cam gears, not all the way back off ;).

    fireballs

    You do know it's not the best thing to do right? Throwing fireballs? Just curious, what type of rice do you prefer?

    Tookwik4u engine compt makeover

    Looking very nice so far Ian. So are you going to make a second, final rung once this prototype is finished, or do you plan to just use this one?

    Finally, after 9 years, Tial has redone their BOV...

    Yeah, I couldn't tell a difference either, but what really got my attention were the videos of what a tial looks like when venting on a properly setup car/combo. It's actually very fast to vent for the size of the piston in the video, but at what cost? I bet that suby owner is using a light...
