A huge puff of blue smoke in the morning means your valve stem seals are slowly leaking oil onto the top of your valves all night, so when you go to start it, poof, it all goes in and burns. Blue smoke after that, means your piston rings are bad. Do a compression and leak down check.

alternator?

I seem to remember you saying that in the other thread :)

20 Psi on a CT is just stupid... lol If you want more power, you're going to need a bigger turbo.

Regarding Your Fan Clutch With the motor off, spin the fan with a decent amount of force. It shouldnt spin more then twice, and if it spins over a full rotation, but not twice, then you're looking at replacing it soon. Basically, a good fan clutch = that you spin it, and it stops almost...

True As for Hp, I read somewhere that for the W58 is was around 400 hp for a good one, less for older worn out ones. And for the r154, the sky was pretty much the limit. Thats a quote from where I read so dont yell at me lol

Yea, sounds rough lol. We're at 3.12 here Btw, make sure you remember, dont run anything above 14 psi on a stock OEM Hg..

agreed :) +1 corret me if I'm wrong, but if you knock sensor is bad, and telling your ECU that you are getting a shit ton of knock ,then the ecu would retard the timing considerably to avoid that right? and it would make your car run like ass.

Ooh yea i forgot about the blowoff / bypass. If its not holding boost for you = boost leak.

a 16g is a mitsubishi turbo, the mkIII is a toyota. Figure it out? lol. I'm gonna go with no. Just get an upgraded CT, or swap manifolds.

Yea, or a horrible ignition lock cylinder. Once out of the lock position, i can start my car with anything strong enough and small enough to fit in the slot .. lol Def on my fix list

Yea, chances are you undid alot of that crap for the BHG, and forgot to tighten a clamp or somethin.

um... are you sure? I've never found any other car EVER that lets you take the key out while driving.. lol

I can start my car, then pull my keys out, put them in my pocket, and drive off.... hehe. Are you sure you are hitting the button to turn the key ALL the way off? :D

If you hit the point at which it starts to boost, and then you hear a SWOOOOOOOOOSH (yes exactly like a BOV), its pretty much guarenteed to be a boost leak. The turbo starts to spool, and its hits a certain PSI and wooooosh out comes all the air through the leak. I drove my friends Talon and...

I'll go "aquire" one from an old supra down the street in a yard and sell it for $100 :)

It falls flat on its face under boost? Sounds like a boost leak. Do you hear a loud "SWOOSH" sound?

If the dent is shallow enough to pop out, or easy to do body work on, just wait till you paint it and fix it... But for now, go across the street and tell them you need an address, and say if they dont cooperate, that they'll be involved with the police, as they knew the hit and runner...

Its not a totally stock clutch.. just the PP

Haha, so true. He also said he replaced his HG with an OEM one.. So lets do math 20 Psi + Oem HG = ::bhg::
